Contents |
Introduction
This example uses the Nokia Maps API Feature manipulation functionality, described in the API Reference here:
http://api.maps.nokia.com/2.2.0/apireference/symbols/nokia.Features.html?s=Features
Please check it out for detailed description on the subject.
Prerequisites
Nokia Maps API supported web browser (basically any modern web browser will do).
Example code
This example loops through and displays all supported features/sets and features of the current map. It also attempts to load features and handles success and failure, and in this example the load should be a success.
