5 Best Alternatives For Google Maps

Google Maps is a web based geographic mapping application and technology, which launched seven years ago on February 8, 2005, by Google Inc. It is available in all languages; hence it is Google’s multilingual applications.

Google Maps provides high-resolution aerial or satellite images for most urban areas all over the world and route directions up to four modes of transportation. Google Maps API is available for mobile phones as well.

Below is a screenshot of Google Maps showing every countries of the world

But Google Maps, and more specifically, Google Street View(which is a part of Google Maps), has recently come under scrutiny from various national agencies for issues related to privacy invasion and unauthorized snooping of Wi-Fi enabled users.

Though Google Maps is unarguably the best available geographical mapping application available today, one must take a look at the best available alternatives for Google Maps.

At the moment, The best alternatives for Google Maps are as follows:

Yahoo! Maps
Bing Maps
OVI Maps
WikiMapia
Bhuvan

1. Yahoo! Maps

Yahoo! Maps is one of the best alternatives to Google Maps developed by Yahoo! It is a free online mapping portal and its APIs are available for developer community too. Yahoo! Maps was launched on May 16, 2007. In Yahoo! Maps, data and Imagery were primarily supplied by “Cartifact Company”.

Here’s a screenshot of Yahoo! Maps showing every countries of the world.

2. Bing Maps

Bing Maps is the second best alternative to Google Maps. It is a fast and feature-rich web mapping tool developed by Microsoft. It provides the users with the ability to browse the street maps for many cities worldwide. The key features of Bing Maps include:

Road View
Street View
Aerial View
Bird’s-eye View

4. WikiMapia

WikiMapia is basically the Wikipedia of the Mapping world. It is editable by anyone and majorly run by volunteers who wants to add any new info to geographical areas around the world. WikiMapia takes raw geographical data from Google Maps but user edited layers and markings/milestones etc are exclusive to WikiMapia.

The whole functioning of WikiMapia and how it manages to grow its information base is quite similar to Wikipedia. Top level moderators keep looking for contributions that aren’t suitable or wrong, in order to revert the changes and keep the Open source location mapping clean and accurate. Though it isn’t as technically sound and restrictive as Google Maps or other privately run Mapping applications, WikiMapia still works well for getting raw information about any geographical area in the world. However, as it’s openly editable, you may come across instances where contributors have randomly marked things, making things less detailed and more clumsy.

5. Bhuvan [India specific]

Bhuvan is a gateway to Indian Earth Observation, which allows the users to explore a 3D representation of the surface of the Earth developed by ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization). ISRO launched the initial release of Bhuvan on August 12, 2009. The latest release of Bhuvan is its beta version of its web-based 3D satellite imagery tool, which launched on August 12, 2011.

Using Twitter To Spread The Business Word

In recent years, the growth in influence of social media sites has taken the world by storm, yet only a small proportion of businesses have moved quickly enough to take advantage of it. One of the most important sites, Twitter, is capable of reaching millions of people at any given moment, so why aren’t more companies looking to get in on the act?

Perhaps the most apparent reason is simply a question of not adapting quickly enough. Many business leaders are of an age where they are perhaps fail to see how rapid technological changes.

It’s a generalization, of course, but younger owners and directors will be more likely to see the potential of social networking in general, and of Twitter in particular. And with an ever increasing army of users registering for the site the need to be aware of the possibilities becomes even more crucial.

Reaching out to the masses

By the middle of 2011, Twitter reached the impressive milestone of 300 million users, a figure that seemed almost inconceivable in the early days. Many experts thought it would never be such a success, pointing out that restricting tweets to a maximum of 140 characters would prove frustrating and eventually unworkable to users; how wrong they were.

These days, people from all walks of life and all corners of the globe head to the site on a daily basis to offer their own opinions about life, and to follow the random musings of others.

Many world-famous celebrities are regular users, and they see Twitter as a way of speaking directly to fans without having their words distorted by the occasional inconsistencies and half-truths that the newspapers provide.

Followers could become customers

Those businesses that have woken up to the possibilities offered by Twitter have been able to build up an impressive number of followers, and can therefore pass on important, potentially lucrative information about marketing campaigns, price reductions, special offers and new products.

And don’t forget, their list of followers consists of people who have already expressed an interest by following them in the first place. Therefore, every one of them could easily be converted into a customer.

The revenue streams that can be generated by companies that incorporate Twitter into their marketing strategies is simple incredible. Any business that doesn’t get in on the act is taking chances that aren’t necessary. The strategies are inexpensive and low maintenance, so there’s little to lose.
