Abstract: Architecture that enables an end user interested in rendering a map in a web-based collaboration and document management platform the ability to do so without writing custom code. The architecture includes a map server control for insertion into a web page to display a map view. The end user can also employ a pushpin database to store different landmarks to be displayed on the map view. An administrator server control is provided for managing the content (e.g., landmark data) of the database, and a legend server control for providing a list of landmark data for selection and presentation in the map view. A data interface facilitates access to the pushpin database for administrator functions and pushpin information for presentation and selection.
