The first post…
May 29th, 2007
Well, this is quite an honor, to be given the first post on our new blog.
What should I discuss…?
Well, I could talk about our fantastic new site, but you’ve probably already seen that??!! (although have you seen our new OS maps and our eBay integration?).
Perhaps I could talk about our wide range of business services? You may not know that Multimap provides mapping services such as the Multimap API and mobile services to more than 1,200 business websites.
While I’m sure we’ll talk a lot more about these soon, today I’d like to let you know about something of great excitement to us all here at Multimap, which is the Multimap Open API.
We’ve created the Open API, which is based on the Multimap API, for developers to innovate, experiment or just try things out.
The Open API includes some of our very best mapping, address search, and routing capabilities.
Personally, being based in the UK, one of my favorite features is the use of the Free The Postcode data for UK postcode lookups. Multimap helps support open source projects such as OpenStreetMap, and a group of Multimappers recently hosted the London mapping party.
In any case, Free The Postcode is a great project, and we would encourage everyone to get involved.
The Open API homepage is your starting point for the Open API, where you can sign up, and find details of both our forum and SDK.
We look forward to seeing the great work we know that developers come up with. Talk to us in the forums if you want show off your work, or if you have any questions.
