GeoStream has been designed so that you can move from using local data files to fetching data from a GeoStream server with almost no code changes. When developing GeoStream applications, however, it can be helpful to understand the important ways that GeoStream differs from a GeoBase application based on local data. The following topics explain some of these differences.
Learn what benefits GeoStream provides over the traditional client solution.
Learn how your client application interacts with a GeoStream server to obtain maps and calculate routes. An overview is provided by Control and Data Flow.
The GeoStream server provides map data to your client application in the form of map tiles. Learn how map tiles work.
