Launch of new Google Maps App

We’re pleased to announce the launch of our new Google Maps app.  The app allows clients to easily show locations of offices, restaurants, hotels etc (pretty much whatever you want!) on a map using the power of Google’s Map search.   We’ve rolled the new App out for Mizuno Golf who are using the system to display the locations of their fitting centres and shops across Europe.

Usability was our #1 priority

One of the reasons why we wanted to develop our own Google Maps App is that we’ve seen this done badly so many times before!  We spent a LOT of time working on different ideas for how the map should work before we figured out the best solution.

We think the app is now really intuitive and user friendly although we will be carrying out further user testing after go-live to see what learning’s and improvements can be made.

Who is the Google Maps App for?

Anyone wanting to show lots of different locations on a map.  We’ve built the system so it’s really flexible, with a simple database of locations which are then automatically plotted onto the Google Map.  Locations can be categorised by type (see the Mizuno example) so people can easily short-list the results for what’s most relevant for what their looking for.

You can even assign flags in the database (such as 5 star hotels, 4 star hotels etc) so its easy for the user to short-list and find the data their interested in.

We’ve also worked out a process to ensure the locations shown on the map are bang on accurate as we know this can sometimes be an issue with Google Maps.

Can I get it?
