Make Money from Online Maps

AfriGIS, a location based services company, has made their dynamic, interactive maps freely available to companies and individuals enabling the integration of AfriGIS’ maps into their HTML websites.

Magnus Rademeyer, AfriGIS MD, says people simply have to visit maps.AfriGIS.co.za and register for free. They will then receive a key to AfriGIS’ map server, which is then integrated into the code of their website.

Once this has been done, the website displays an interactive map. Anyone visiting the website will be able to use the map to find the route from one point to another. Additional functionality includes being able to zoom in and out, specifying the coordinates and scale of where the map should open on the website and adding points to the map.

“Additional points of interests which could be added to the map could include the company’s position on the map, shopping malls in the area, petrol stations, emergency services, schools and more, allowing a company whose geographical position is important to maximise the benefit of their location to their customers,” he says.
