Map applications can be entirely standalone or integrated as part of a larger information system. For example, in a real estate portal, they can be used to display properties and nearby points of interest on the map. Map applications can be used for visualizing statistical data, searching for and displaying locations, route planning, displaying and processing spatial data, in games, and more.

In the realm of map applications, Regio has the capability to offer solutions in the increasingly utilized field of geolocation marketing. Geolocation marketing assesses objectively location-specific factors that impact the success of stores, sales territories, target audiences, retail chains, and distribution networks, offering companies the opportunity to analyze new avenues for securing a competitive market position.

Map applications can be built upon raster or vector maps. In the case of raster maps, the base is a raster image in .jpg or .png format, pre-rendered by a map server and displayed as such in the application. For vector maps, the application retrieves vector data from the map server, and the map image is drawn directly within the application. Thanks to this, vector maps allow for map rotation and tilting, dynamic map styling based on top information layers (location map vs navigation map), and even day and night modes (dark vs light-themed map).
