goyellow.de/map launched

Finally, I can announce, that the first customer from my new project launched this week! Working together with Endoxon AG, the new online map for germany at goyellow.de/map is now online. Please go and have a look!

You will find a lot of similarities to map.search.ch, with a couple refinements here and there. It is a full AJAX map for Germany with hybrid and vector views. You can overlay a lot of information from GoYellow, a internet yellow pages site for germany with direct door-to-door public transport directions available to every such point. Additionally, we have global data for the first few zoomlevels, so you can get a decent view of the rest of the world.

Of course, you have nice URIs like goyellow.de/map/berlin or goyellow.de/map/muenchen/hildegardstr-1, so I wish happy linking!

We put a lot of work into the visuals, especially the image quality and the general UI behaviour. Please have a close look! Note the clarity of the colors and the labels. Or drag the zoomslider.

The project will move forward adding more countries in this way. And soon, we will have some new concepts waiting for you. Oh, and we will get an official name..

More soon!

Update: My coworker Gregor shows how you can link to all kinds of information layers. And it seems like we already got first sort-of mashup.
