If you haven’t tried Google Maps yet you definitely don’t know what you’re missing. But even for those who have tried Google Maps and enjoy using it often, unless they tried out the new Click2Map by Hyliosoft –they don’t know what they are missing. Click2Map was developed by a French internet development company named HylioSoft. The program utilizes rich internet technological features similar to the technology used for Google Maps itself. This allows all the great features and benefits brought by Google Maps but with some increasable enhancements. The best thing is that it makes creating the most out of Google Maps easy since unlike Google Maps, Click2Map is not intended for programmers. In fact, with Click2Map you can create the most advanced Google Maps with customized points of interest and not write a single line of code. Click2Map’s visual interface allows you to choose your options on screen and the program takes care of the coding for you.
While Google Maps had great success among internet developers, the fact that you need advanced programming knowledge in order to operate the funcions supported by Google Map’s API set of tools deterred many from using it and limited it’s potential audience. Click2Map was created with non programmers in mind allowing them to manage and publish online maps without the need for programming knowledge.
The program is currently still in beta and a final version is expected sometime next month. In the meantime browsers to their site are encouraged to try out the beta version which works quite well by now. You need to register in order to use the program but registration is free and simple and only requires an email address. It is interesting to follow the development of the project since new releases (in the beta version) have been released practically every few days lately.
