New short URLs on Multimap.com

image  

When you generate a link on Multimap.com it now generates short URLs (think TinyURL) which are much more manageable.  This is great for sending a a URL to a map in twitter etc. where brevity is of the essence.

To use this navigate to where you want on Multimap.com and then use the ‘link’ button above the map to generate a short URL.

So the old long link:

http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=big+ben&countryCode=GB#map=51.50318,-0.11931|19|32&loc=GB:51.5006:-0.12465:14|big%20ben|Big%20Ben 

now becomes: 

http://www.multimap.com/s/CyCrouvl

That’s a bit less of a mouthful!

    Dude,

    The equivalent URL is:
    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=big+ben,+london&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=16&iwloc=addr

    I wouldn’t call that snappy!
