| Virtually the WorldMapsolute Inc has re-launched its site map24 with a new look and powerful search facility. Map24 is a free online mapmaking tool that provides individuals and businesses on-line maps and door-to-door directions.
The re-launch of the new Web site brings the very popular European based Map24 brand to North America with easy-to-use maps. detailed driving directions. at Internet speeds that are many times faster than other North American map sites. New features on the Map24 web site include a powerful single line entry search facility that can quickly and effectively conduct searches even with misspelled words and partial addresses. As a result. Map24 users do not need to enter addresses into different fields. Address details. town and city can be entered into a single address field in any order. When the search is executed. Map24 lists the possible addresses. so that users can select the appropriate one. Once the desired address is selected. it is shown on the map and can be used a starting point or destination for route planning. Another new and unique feature is that specific Points of Interest (POI) such as tourist attractions or hotels can be found by simply typing in the name. For example. if a user types in "Boston Aquarium." he is immediately shown the address and a map of the Boston Aquarium. The ability to find POIs around a particular destination is a great advantage when someone does not know the specific street or city of POI. In addition. the re-launched portal now includes building outlines in city centers. known as City Maps. City Maps make it much easier to orientate users when searching or planning a route. An additional feature offers a 3D mode that does not require the user to know what direction (North. East or West) that he is headed in. Users simply engage the 3D mode - either with a bird's eye or street level view and the 3D route flight follows the route along the road. while keeping the map orientated to the user's direction of travel. In addition to the usual Map24 location information (such as train stations. hotels and restaurants). the name of the road being "driven" is also continuously displayed. "The goal behind the re-launched website is to help people find their destinations easier. with routes that are easier to follow." said Jim Thomas Golob. CEO of Mapsolute. "No other mapping portal offers the range of mapping services complete with simplified address lookup. driving instructions and 3D-POI search capabilities. After receiving input from thousands of Map24 users. we believe that we offer the most user friendly and helpful mapping and directions portal available." The re-launched Map24 website was entirely done with Mapsolute's new AJAX API which is now being made available to Map24 developers. (See today's other announcement: "Mapsolute Announces Free Map24 AJAX API for Easy Integration of Advanced Mapping Technology into Websites."

| Investigative Journalist Launches Site Comparing Skip TracingReverse Lookup Companies are everywhere promising the normal research. and the impossible. As the lay person is completely unaware of what information to reasonably expect. a veteran researcher devotes a newsite to unbiased comparison.
(PRWEB) June 12. 2006 -- Professional researcher and occasional scam-victim Michael Fitzpatrick has done the web-searching community an enormous favor by launching a blog devoted to reporting his experiences with on-line research and skip tracing companies. After weeks of whispering. the reverse lookup compare and contrast blog hosted by Blog-City was launched on Friday.Fitzpatrick. who has made a career out of locating people and information for his journalistic endeavors. was inspired to launch the project after noticing a surge in advertising by so-called skip tracing companies since February.'The thing is. these are services. not products. And although the phone number and address searches are fairly popular. it is still a niche market. albeit a flooded one. People who need information are generally new at this and have no idea what is available. who can obtain it. and which are scams run by charlatans pretending to offer something of investigative value.' he states. People searching for phone number reverse lookup information. are likely to choose the lowest priced service. everything else appearing equal. 'By Fitzpatrick's estimation. six out of ten sites flooding the cost-per-click ad market are slickly worded cons promising customers access to non-existent data. While private investigation is a regulated field. online data brokers have no governing body. no association and no oversight. 'The actions of these companies really give licensed investigators a bad name. You have actual PIs suddenly unable to drum up business because the scam artists are everywhere. Not only do they advertise like mad. but after they've finished fleecing some unsuspecting consumer. that person is not likely to trust a real investigator to obtain the results.'In the coming days and weeks. Fitzpatrick will be adding reviews of actual experiences with online vendors of location services such as reverse lookup. consumers needing investigative help. need to find a lookup or skip tracing company that is going to charge you for the actual search. The conmen to steer clear of are those offering database inquiries and do-it-yourself software downloads.# # #
