ESRI map with Google map and map viewer in APEX

This article is in continuation of my previous work on Oracle Map Viewer/Map Builder and Oracle 12c database.

This article demonstrates the conversion of ESRI maps to datatype (SDO_GEOMETRY) that can then be used in Map Viewer. The article ends with an HTML code that can be put in APEX's HTML region to display the map with ESRI info on it.

My take on using Mapviewer with Oracle 12c and Google maps API

Map viewer is a kool technology and I wanted to write about it for a long time. 

Let me first chalk the steps that we will follow. We will

1. Download Map Viewer and Map Builder.

2. Create a pluggable database (pdb), create a pdb user and grant the necessary privileges to it.

3. Configure Map viewer.

4. Insert spatial data.

5. Use Map Builder to create styles and themes.

6. Get a key from google and then use it to create a map tile layer using Map Viewer.

7. Write code to create a FOI layer on a base map using Map Viewer's JavaScript API.
