MapObjects LT
AxtiveX Mapping Control

MapObjects LT is a collection of mapping components for application developers, consisting of an ActiveX control and other programmable ActiveX automation objects. MapObjects LT is based on the same industry-standard framework as MapObjects, so you can be assured you are getting robust state-of-the-art mapping components. MapObjects LT is specifically designed for developers who have more modest needs than those served by MapObjects.

With MapObjects LT it's surprisingly simple to add low-cost, royalty-free mapping capabilities to your applications. If you know your way around Visual Basic, Delphi, Visual C++, PowerBuilder, Access, or other popular 32-bit programming environments, it's a snap to add dynamic, live maps.

With MapObjects LT 2, you can

Access an unrivaled assortment of native data formats ranging from standard GIS formats (ArcInfo coverages and ESRI shapefiles) to CAD formats (DXF, DWG, and DGN) as well as a variety of image formats including MrSID.
Perform spatial queries.
Display data using classifications, graduated symbols, and labeling.
Pan and zoom through multiple map layers.
Get information on map features.
