WSDOT Integration on VE

  • Article

Here are two applications I wrote using Washington State Department of Transportation data. The first uses a web service provided by WSDOT which shows the position of our dollars at work in Washington State and plots them on Virtual Earth Maps: https://demo.mappoint.net/vemws/WSDOT.aspx. I'm only getting the first 75 since there were quite a few being returned and it was killing my laptop. It appears the WSDOT has turned off this web service, so it may not work. I'm leaving this up in case they decide to turn it back on.

The other application is essentially a Park and Ride locator which allows a user to input their zip code (geocodes that with MapPoint Web Service), finds the nearest locations within 10 miles (FindNearby MWS) and plots the results onto a Virtual Earth map: https://demo.mappoint.net/vemws/WSDOT_PR.aspx.

Fun stuff.
