Active Website Launches New Mapping Technology Powered by Google Maps

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Denver, CO – Active Website has launched an improved advanced mapping tool powered by Google Maps for its Enterprise Network web platform. Google Maps is a web-based mapping service that allows users to view basic and custom maps, plot points of interest, receive accurate driving directions and view locations via map, satellite, hybrid and street views.

Benefits of the Google Maps migration include:

  • Enhanced views including Map, Satellite, Hybrid and Street View
  • Refined Polygon Tool with the ability to plot multiple polygons
  • New style of property information pop-up with additional features and an expanded tabbed structure
  • Streamlined map controls including standard Google Maps compass and zoom level slider
  • Expanded map search print view
  • Driving directions

“The integration of Google Maps was a seamless transition for all Enterprise Network websites,” said Ori Staub, Enterprise Technology Director at Active Website. ”The increased usability of the new mapping platform keeps our clients inline with the most up-to-date technology available.”

Of particular interest to users of the new mapping technology, Google Maps provides exclusive street level imagery via Street View. Street View provides imagery that can zoom, rotate and move along roads and through intersections. Street View allows map users to view streets, properties, landmarks and surrounding features from a ground level perspective.
