I was just wondering what people are using for mapping from their clarion desktop applications?
I have used HereMaps w/ NetTalk and like that but was wondering what others are doing?
I know there is DevExtreme from Noyantis but not sure if I want to introduce another OCX into our system. (Or is this only for webapps?)
I need to be able to show where all our delivery guys are (We have GPS for them)
I need to be able to generate a route map for several deliveries for a driver.
Can you share any screenshot and URLs for any products they are using?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
We’ve just done something like this (well, still in dev).
Take a look at ClarionLive, July 16 2025

You’d probably need a mobile app for that. A few years ago we wrote one using Ionic, these days I’d probably use Flutter…
…(If I could ever get my head around coding in Flutter!)
For mapping locations of drivers you could possibly use a Flutter desktop app, or a web app.

That’s a really nice demo Andy, was there a follow up where you showed the Flutter app?
When you say there is no server, how do you get the data to and from the Flutter app, or were you referring to another stage of the process?
Hi,
We’ve not showed the flutter app part yet on ClarionLive but do plan to do so.
Sorry for the confusion, when I said no server, I meant no web server required to show the maps. There is an API server between our Clarion desktop apps and our Flutter mobile apps.
We use NetTalk for our API servers, we also use it for our Web Portal servers too, but we didn’t use it to host / show the maps in the desktop solution - that’s mainly because our system is sold in modules and a user could purchase the Routing without the Web Portal.
Thanks,
