Igmap requires internet connectivity from client machine for using the map provider data?
posted

I want to use Igmap Control in our website in HTML page.

I want to use OpenStreet provider for igmap control.

Please confirm whether I need internet connection at client loctaion to fetch data from the provider to show the data.

If I use other supported provider then will we need internet connection?

 

Thanks

    Hello Piyush,

    Currently an active Internet connection is required in order to download the map tiles.

    One option to overcome this is to not use map tiles if you do not need them. Other possibility is to setup a local Proxy Server which can cache the files needed so they can be used when main Internet connection is down.

    Notice that usage of locally stored map data may require a very big local storage medium – sometimes even in Terabyte range. This is also important aspect that should be considered.
