• Internet - Portal, Real Estate and Travel web sites

Imagery
deCarta and DigitalGlobe have collaborated on a seamless interface between deCarta's Web services API and DigitalGlobe's Image Server within the deCarta AJAX framework. This enables easy generation of "hybrid" maps such as the overlay of road network data on top of satellite imagery.

POIs
Core POI data is supplied by the map data vendors. Category examples include stadiums, historical and cultural landmarks, and museums. Expanded categories, including commercial business listings, are also available from NAVTEQ and Tele Atlas. In addition, you can import custom POI data sets such as your company's store locations.
