New mapping feature for website clients

Everyone's seen Google Maps in websites - but we've just integrated them into a client website in a way that really adds value.

The client is North West Leicestershire Chamber of Commerce - and as part of the membership package members get a listing on the website.

We've been able to add a feature that highlights the member's location on a map on their individual profile page (see here for an example) - and we've also been able to show all the members' locations on a single map. Again nothing special - everyone can create a Google map with points of interest and share it.

But you try clicking the map pins - you get details on the business, including the company logo if they've uploaded it to their profile. Members can also update the location of their pin (the default postcode placement isn't always 100% accurate) and the main map is updated instantly. If only moving office was really that easy!

If you have a use for integrating Google Maps tightly in your website - please get in touch. Oh and of course the same feature will find its way onto this site soon!
