Could some of you have a quick look over this free site: UseAmap.com - TinyUrl.com but for Maps, save your map and share it,comes with driving directions, perfect for events and trips and let me know your feedback or any ideas etc. I am still based in college, but I believe this site is very handy for events or contact us pages in websites.
Features include:
Extensive Driving Directions(think AA Roadmaps)
Save a map with a short name like UseAmap.com - TinyUrl.com but for Maps, save your map and share it,comes with driving directions, perfect for events and trips
Embed a map quickly onto your contact us page….everyone here can do it, I reckon with ease.
Can create a new map, and make a link for SEO reasons back to your own site
Image Gallery coming soon.

Looking forward to your comments,

It's a really nice idea.

The only big problem is that the Google maps for the area I am interested in are really poor

Yeah, it's a bit sparse for Ireland but it looks nicely designed and no more complicated than it has to be.

Default Map quality
Hi,
Thanks very much. After Christmas, I am introducing a new feature in that you can quickly change the mapping technology behind the images, to give you a better quality. At the moment, it is using TeleAtlas, for rural area, Navtech is much better(Navtech displays my village is Roscommon). Navtech is currently being used by the driving directions portion of the website. Hopefully this will move forward in solving your issue.

I like the site, nice layout.

Didnt Navtech make the maps for Navman navigation?

Agreed. Some people are thick and some people are really thick, you need to cater for both sorts.

While that may be true I'd prefer to put it in different terms...

You need to make the site more user friendly - *cough*

Hi,
Thanks all for your thoughts. I agree with taking out of the word tag, as it is not very clear. I have also changed the layout of the front page to make it more obvious as to the center goal of website. Finally when viewing an actual map itself, I have changed the layout of the links at the top of the page for usability reasons-I felt some of the information was too buried to find easily.
If you have any other thoughts, or any other improvements, please let me know on these boards. And thanks to everyone for their help so far.
Vinny

Just playing with it again this evening....

If I use an apostrophe in the link name ie. linking to my site for example, it displays the strip slashes
