Multimap demonstrates the latest version of its API service, its new Points of Interest data and aerial imagery for real estate websites at booth 201 at the SF Connect Show (1st to 3rd August, 2007)

Multimap, one of the world's leading online mapping providers, will be demonstrating the latest version of its highly-functional API* (Application Programming Interface V1.2) and its new Points of Interest data and aerial imagery to the real estate industry at the Real Estate Connect Show in San Francisco (1st to 3rd August, 2007). Multimap’s US team invites industry professionals to booth 201 to hear how the Multimap platform is delivering must-have functionality for many of the leading real estate websites across the globe, e.g., Foxtons, Hamptons International, Savills, Haart, Winkworth and Bushells, and to learn how online mapping and location-based services can help them to extend their dialogue with house-hunters and increase viewings.

Functionality particularly popular in the real estate sector includes draggable mapping, driving and walking directions that plan your itinerary for multiple viewings, and Points of Interest data. Showing local information, such as transport links, schools, colleges, healthcare, and shopping centers, in a local context is critical to connecting with house-hunters, and helping them make an informed decision about whether or not to book a viewing. Multimap’s Local Information service, up-to-date aerial imagery and innovative and flexible mapping services combine to offer a great shop window for property, both online and in print.

Commenting on Multimap’s participation at SF Connect 2007, Willem Mijnarends, Vice President, Sales, North America, said, “Since introducing the Multimap APIV1.2, we have seen a lot of interest from the US real estate sector. Attending this year’s SF Connect is a great way to educate the market about its key features and benefits. We’ve received very positive feedback about the usefulness of our Local Information service and our aerial imagery when it comes to making a decision about the suitability of a given property, and we will also be running demonstrations of these services and features. Many real estate agents worldwide have already implemented Multimap services to provide useful mapping services to customers, and we expect many more clients to come on board once they see these impressive implementations!”

The latest release breaks new ground in bringing together searching, routing, mapping, geocoding, and POI data and imagery into a single one-stop service. The service gives businesses unprecedented capability and control over their location services, and comes complete with Multimap's industry-leading customer support. The API offers major new areas of functionality, and also takes Multimap's mapping interface to a new level, with the addition of overview maps, smooth zooming, automatic de-cluttering of icons, and many other features.
