I AM IMPRESSED: map24.com

May 14, 2004 | Comments (0)

Map24 has won’t the technical achievement Webby Award. I’m not impressed that they won the award, but what they actually implemented.

I tried to locate my home address and it zoomed in right away from the Europe overview to my street! Really amazing! Well done! There mapping software is nice to use, it’s also easy and it’s — most of the time also — fast. They use a java applet to be able to use vector based dynamic map. Most of the mapping software use gifs which need to be downloaded each time when you move to a different location or when you zoom in or out.
