MapAPI 1.4

Class: IWPoiUtils

IWPoiUtils

A class to help you to support all kinds of points of interest (POIs) on the map. Adding a set of POIs and creating tooltips and bubbles on mouseover and click events is easy like this: 

IWPoiUtils.initFormatters(); // initialize the default POI behaviour
IWPoiUtils.initLayers(map, 'demo'); // add the POIs of the layer "demo" to your map object

new IWPoiUtils()

Singleton constructor

	new IWParkingFormatter(),
