Newest Review: ... map on a narrow band of the country. In the past I have found it quite difficult to understand the instructions that come as part of the map printout and then once I do get lost getting back on the route is much harder since the actual map graphic isn't very useful. The site does have some uses however. It makes it money from showing your where businesses are. Companies can use their technology on there websites to give details of where they are located. This is where the bulk of the business lies and it does it very well. A new product is the idea that you can search for the closest cafe/bar/park etc to where you are with directions. Thi... more

Multimap is now at least partly owned by Microsoft as far as I know. The main product is online mapping. They also do point to point route finding. The problem is though that it is simply a way of getting a very specialised paper map on a narrow band of the country. In the past I have found it quite difficult to understand the instructions that come as part of the map printout and then once I do get lost getting back on the route is much harder since the actual map graphic isn't very useful.

Multimap is a website with a pretty self explanatory title - it is an online road map website. Multimap vs. traditional map! Advantages: - On multimap you can search to and from specific postcodes - The website can calculate for you either the shortest route or the quickest route - You can print out a list of written instructions - More up to date than maps - You can get an ariel (photographic) view of an area - Covers more countries than just England (although I'm not sure how many and which ones). - Tells you the exact mileage from one place to another (useful if you need to claim back petrol costs). - You ...  Read the complete review

multimap.com: Great service that could use a few tweaks (293 words)

Multimap is a hugely valuable site that has come quite a way since its inception. When it began, it was no less a brainchild idea, though, an interactive map that's updated frequently with new geographical information. It allowed you to enter two post codes into its search and then get directions on how to get from A to B, as well as detailing the length of the journey. Since then, though, it has evolved considerable, now having options for both driving and walking, as well as allowing you to pick between the shortest and "fastest" journeys. The maps themselves are very well drawn and allow a lot of zoomable detail, as well as allowing you to crop ...  Read the complete review

MultiMap.com is a maps and direction advice website owned by Microsoft. First launched in 1995, it has since risen to nationwide popularity with Alexa traffic research ranking the website as the 99th most accessed site in the United Kingdom. MultiMap offers users maps based on specified addresses, cities and/or postcodes. Users first access MultiMap.com and input a post code to receive an overhead map of the area requested. Maps are presented in a generic white on grey background with black text. I find this format to be somewhat difficult to read, especially in areas where I am not familiar with the surroundings. To simplify reading, users may zoom into the ...  Read the complete review
