Data Streaming Examples

Try these two examples to discover how FME Server can help you easily stream data for end users to access via the web.

Live Streaming to Google Earth


Click image to enlarge 		The first example uses FME Server to publish real-time data into a KML output for viewing in Google Earth or Google Maps. In this example, the current location of mobile assets (taxi cabs, in this case) are displayed directly on the map, which is refreshed once per second.

FME Server does this by reading live GPS input, restructuring the contents and outputting KML data. When you call the URL, a request is made to FME Server to run the underlying workflow that performs this action and the data results are displayed directly in Google Earth. This request is repeated according to the set refresh rate, which is 1 second in this example.

Live PDF Mapping

The second example demonstrates a PDF Mapping Service which offers an Overview map that includes an index map with links which, when clicked, run the PDF Mapping Service for the user-specified area.

  1. Open the Overview Map PDF.
    To view the PDF correctly, please use Adobe Reader.
  2. Then click on the index map to view a specific map tile.
  3. Also view the Layer and Model Tree sidebars in Adobe Reader to turn layers on and off, or view attributes of a feature.

In this example, FME Server pulls information from a database, transforms and styles it, and then creates a PDF based on the area of interest defined by user input (which index map the person has clicked). It pushes the PDF out to a browser which is enabled to view Adobe PDF files.
