Why integrate PTV xServer Digital Maps API?
​
PTV looks back on four decades of experience in the field of digital maps and works closely with leading data and maps providers. Additionally, we have been solving challenges within transportation logistics for international customers for 40 years. We offer highest data quality and level of detail, a large amount of extended content and functionalities, and many options for customisation and individual tailoring of map look and feel. For instance, our map data includes highly detailed and accurate truck-specific information like weight limits for bridges, height restrictions for tunnels and access restrictions for trucks – particularly relevant in urban areas. Our Digital Maps API is a software developer component, available as an easy-to-use and integrable on-premise solution or a cloud-based web service. Due to its standardised interface, the component can be easily integrated into an existing software architecture. Additionally, as developer, you benefit from abundant documentation as well as continuous support.
PTV Digital Maps API enables you to configure the map display based on your requirements and taste. Would you like to start working with the API immediately without making any modifications? No problem. PTV offers several pre-defined map profiles that are carefully designed to fit most standard use cases as an out-of-the-box-feature.

Request single layers to build your own hybrid map. Choose between pre-defined layers (e.g. background, labels, additional content layers displaying information like truck-specific attributes or live traffic information). Change the order of layers to draw the polyline of a route between streets and labels.
