In keeping with the sentiment that a New Year should always begin with a dose of direction, South Africa`s leading Portal site, iafrica.com brings you Streetfinder.
A product of Leisuremap, Streetfinder is a highly efficient searchable site in which the entire country has been mapped. A national map detailing the various provinces can be zoomed in over and over again, until finally you are looking at the very block on which you live! If you don`t want to go for the alien-zoom approach, the Site has a detailed search facility into which a town and street name can be entered directly.
The difference between the Streetfinder Product and the traditional hard-copy map book version, which most people carry around in the boot of their cars, is the improved usability. The inclusion of important landmarks, such as Petrol stations, specified as BP or Engen, Schools, Shopping Centres, work to really simplify the task of finding a place, through relativity.
The crowning glory, once you have located the page to which you will be travelling, is that the page may be printed, and rather than balancing the entire National Road Guide on your lap, and tilting your head into a cradle to squeeze a cellphone, you now have a postcard size piece of paper with everything you need.
The design and structure of the site is particularly impressive, and visitors can expect double quick load up time, as each search option or zoom request is entered. Says Marketing Director for iafrica.com, Cecil Lyons, This innovative addition to our site is all part of our campaign to upgrade and improve usability for our numerous visitors, we are proud to be associated with such a superior product."
In a recent independent survey conducted by Webchek, iafrica.com pipped Yahoo.com to the post for the site which South African users are most aware of.
