Hi,
Here let me clarify , I have no intentions to peep in to or any evil intention towards tfls database and other related information.
But , ofcourse Millions of users are greatly beniftted the way it serves the information. http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/
So , If we want to create some site like tfl, journeyplanner , what are the basic things we need to keep in mind.
Which Architecture We should use?
Can We create this website using ASP.NET(Should be able to)?
Is TFL integrating it's website with google maps or any other GPS
Edit:
While you enter the Zip/Pin code or Station name , it creates a map automatically from source to destination and calcculates the distance also.
My Question here is , How do they calculate the distance , do they keep help of Maps or GPS or they created there own webservic?
