Enhanced Google Maps for East Africa
Enhanced Google Maps for East Africa
Another interesting service I happened to see was the Location based service that integrates google maps with Safaricom to show you where you are on the map based on your mobile phone. I think this service is quite promising and there are different services such map direction services, amenity location services that can leverage this technology.
I mentioned in an earlier post here that with this new map the mashup wars can finally begin, well the starting shot has been fired, may the best man or woman win.

On tuesday I had the rare opportunity courtesy of Chris Kiagiri, Technical Lead at Google Kenya to have a sneak peek at the upcoming enhanced google mpas for east africa and let me say it was truly awesome. The amount of detail in this new version is quite amazing, a quick look at the nairobi map goes as far down as streets, buildings (building name and icon) and even adds information to indicate if the street is one way or two way. The enhanced maps currently cover major cities and towns in East Africa including Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, and Dar es Salaam.
