Cool feature of map.ask.com

May 12th, 2006

map.Ask.com provide a service similar to Google Local/Map. At a first view, nothing really new. But what I really like is the “add location” feature. Just click on a point in the map, and this will put a marker on the map, with the street location on it. Technically speaking, this is reverse geocoding, but it’s not provided by Google. If you put more point, then ask.com compute the direction between these two point. You can even move the point by dragging them, and the direction is recomputed in real time. No more that what a navigation system does, but for the first time avail from the web!
