POI Manager Web Service overview

You can upload a custom set of points with the Points of Interest (POI) Manager Web Service. You can upload up to 5,000 records in one file through the Web-interface and store a total of 100,000 points on an ESRI server at any given time. You can add, edit, and delete your points through SOAP. There is no limit to the number of icons.  POI Manager is available as a Web-interface and as a SOAP-interface. You provide the points as a set of latitude/longitude locations or street addresses along with some descriptive information about the points. The locations are stored in a table on an ESRI server and you can use these points for mapping or proximity requests.

If you upload street addresses to the ESRI system, ESRI geocodes the addresses and inputs the results into the table. You receive an e-mail report on the results of the geocoding process and are given an opportunity to correct and manually upload individual locations through a Web–interface.

The POI Manager Web Service includes the following capabilities:

• Upload set of locations or addresses to an ESRI system as a DBF file (5,000 record limit per file) and store in a table through a Web–interface
• Geocode addresses to determine locations and send geocode report to user.
• Add, edit, or delete locations in a table through SOAP or Web–interface.
• Upload personal icons to be used on maps.
