Product Overview

Nationwide Routing and Geocoding for ArcIMS

ArcIMS Route Server offers fast and accurate routing capabilities within the ArcIMS framework. It lets users perform rapid cross-country routing, set routing preferences (highway preferences, shortest route, or fastest route), and use precision settings to fine-tune results.

Use ArcIMS Route Server with a variety of clients from standard desktop or browser-based clients to custom browser, desktop, or wireless applications.

To get up and running quickly, ArcIMS developers can use the sample application included with the software, or they can choose to build their own custom solutions with .NET, Java, Active Server Pages (ASP), Java Server Pages (JSP), ColdFusion, or ArcXML—a GIS extension to standard eXtensible Markup Language (XML).

ArcIMS Route Server can use commercial data sets from NAVTEQ, Tele Atlas, Tele Atlas (GDT), and DMTI that have been optimized to perform routing and geocoding within the ArcIMS Route Server extension. Data is currently available from these vendors covering North America and Europe.

It is possible to introduce additional data sets for use with ArcIMS Route Server. This requires custom data preparation in Smart Data Compression (SDC) format by ESRI Professional Services at additional cost. Upon request, ESRI can work with third-party data vendors to optimize their data for use with ArcIMS Route Server.
