Drill Down Server
deCarta's Drill Down Server™ (DDS) is the leading geospatial software platform, offering unparalleled speed, flexibility and scalability.
Through an array of APIs, developers can integrate maps, driving directions, geocoding, multi-point routing, proximity search and other
location technology into Internet and mobile location-enabled applications.
DDS is ideal for building:
- High-volume map-based yellow pages directories, map-enabled search engines, real estate portals, and travel sites
- Wireless location and navigation solutions
- Fleet-tracking solutions
- Telematics call center applications
DDS is a stateless architecture, built around Power Plug-ins.
DDS is the only LBS platform with a flexible, modular architecture that allows additional functionality to
be added without degrading the server's performance.
Power Plug-Ins can run in the same server or distributed environment without impacting performance.

Application Flexibility
Choose from multiple high level API's to eliminate the complexities of building your LBS application or retain complete control using our low-level display APIs.
Write once functionality allows developers to build many applications from one platform across the enterprise utilizing multiple map sources.
Choose among multiple map, satellite, traffic and POI data sources for "best of breed" coverage.
Power Plug-ins provide additional functionality without degrading performance.
Scalability
Proven in high-transaction enterprise environments and used by leading Internet portals to provide reliable service.
Stateless architecture queries are treated as independent transactions, distributed to any instance of DDS, providing linear scalability.
Performance
Industry-leading multi-point routing, mapping, geocoding and reverse geocoding performance.
Supports multi-point routing in a single query.
Ease of Deployment / Integration
Develop a proof of concept application using deCarta's Developer Zone.
Sample Java code is available to demonstrate most of the major functional areas of DDS, including map display
with pan and zoom, geocoding, reverse-geocoding and routing.
Customizable Look & Feel - Completely customize your identity. Overlay your brand any way and anywhere you want, including POI's. Every element is in your control.
Examples include:
- Width and color of roads and borders
- Area fill color for parks, rivers and water bodies
- Label fonts, color and sizes
- True anti-aliasing for higher resolution output
- Multiple image output formats
- Support for hybrid style maps with satellite imagery
