Mashing Up Autodesk Freewheel with Google Maps
With the Google™ Maps API, embedding pointers to specific assets is remarkably straight forward. Taking it to the next step, and embedding Autodesk Freewheel into the maps is also just as easy.
In the map below, note the two pointers. Clicking the pointers will pull up information on parcel maps -- the thumbnail renderings of the parcel maps are being created on the fly using the Autodesk Freewheel web service. Clicking on the rendered images will open the full parcel map within Autodesk Freewheel.
While this example is very simplistic, imagine delivering maps to field workers, partners, or colleagues with detailed asset information available just a click away. The power of Autodesk Freewheel allows you to extend important CAD design information further than ever before.
