We have a fantastic example of the Google Maps API with a brand new dealer search system for our client Briannia Living (Range Cookers).

Britannia Living have been a client of ours for the past 12 months and we have been running a highly successful SEO and website development campaign.

The latest project we have been working on involved the incorporation of the Google Maps API to better serve the users of the Britannia Living website.

Britannia sell their range cookers and accessories via hundreds of approved dealers across the UK and Ireland and finding your local dealer has never been so easy.

The tool takes advantage of fantastic Google Maps API and geo-codes each dealer on to a familiar interactive map with driving directions features.

Facebook have announced that in the coming weeks they are to release a new ‘cleaner and simpler design’. The company plan to trial the improved design on users which is to include previews of the new features and functionality.

Facebook CEO and founder, Mark Zuckerberg commented: ““We’ve made the changes rolling out today in order to highlight the most recent and relevant information that users value, give users even more control and ownership over their profiles and simplify the user experience. Facebook’s new design makes it a lot easier for users to share information, and we encourage them to check it out.”

After listening to over 100,000 user suggestions Facebook have been constructing the site since early 2008. Access to the new design is believed to be limited initially but is to gradually become available to all of Facebook’s more than 80 million users within upcoming weeks.
