Look Out, MapQuest … There’s a New Mapping Site in Town!
MapNation
Offers Better Maps, Additional Features & Benefits
San Rafael, CA (December 2004): MapNation, an online company that offers
free mapping, routing and directions to the general public, is proud
to announce the launch of its new website, www.mapnation.com.
A direct competitor to MapQuest, Yahoo! Maps and other popular routing
websites, MapNation offers several new, unique features, poising this
new company to become a potential leader in a marketplace some might
have considered played out.
“
People have become accustomed to using the same few websites when they
are trying to locate an address or find driving directions,” says
Al Abhari, President at MapNation. “When they realize they’ve
been given the wrong directions, it’s usually too late to do anything
about it. Because we use very up to date data, our directions are
often more accurate.”
In addition to routing and mapping functions, MapNation features interactive
zip code and area code lookups, the only such website to offer these
services. Visitors to the site can input an area code or a zip code,
and MapNation’s technology will map out the area to 10 levels
of detail.
The site’s most interesting feature, however, is its link to relevant
data. After selecting any item on the map—a street, business,
attraction or park—users can access demographics, statistics and
other useful information.
“
We hope MapNation will appeal to a broad range of users,” says
Abhari. “Sure, people who need directions will love the simplicity
of our site, but anyone looking for geographical or demographic information
will appreciate our unique features.”
