APPLICATION BUILDING BLOCKS FOR ON DEMAND AND ON PREMISE USAGE

A computer-implemented method includes: identifying a map-based application for enhancement, identifying a configuration file defining one or more application parts for enhancing the map-based application, the one or more application parts associated with a second application, and incorporating the one or more application parts from the identified configuration file into the map-based application. In some instances, incorporating the one or more application parts into the map-based application includes identifying a symbol associated with each of the one or more application parts, accessing data from the second application associated with each of the one or more application parts, and inserting an instance of the symbol for each application part based on the accessed data from the second application.
