API Upgrades
Tuesday, September 5th, 2006We’ve been busy upgrading the ZoomIn Mapping System API’s and updating the developer websites.
ZoomIn Mapping System
- New Mapping Functionality: We have had a lot of requests from our API users for the ability to draw circles. We’ve added the GCircle function to the API in the latest update.
- New Geo-coders for New Zealand users: We upgraded the Geo-coding API to fix some bugs and improved performance. Please note: Version 1 of the Geo-coding API will be depreciated on the 1st October 2006
Here is a table explaining which Geo-coding API to use:
| Geo-coder API Version |
Map Projection | Map Layer | Example API call |
| v2 | NZMG | Zoomin.NZMG Zoomin.NZMGAerial |

ZoomIn Developer website
- New key request system: We have added a new key request system. You can now request production keys via the developer site. You will need to request a separate key to use the geocoder. We have made the changes to the API system to simplify the reporting for our users.
