Last summer, the Seznam.cz portal decided to innovate MAPY.CZ - the map service in the Czech Republic that is visited most often. Our company won the tender and became one of the map data suppliers for this service.
The brand new map controls constitute the radical change that has been inspired by the popular Google.com map service portal. Also, the map data went through significant changes. The maps may still seem a bit more schematic than, for instance, the maps at Supermapy.cz but the shift to better service is noticeable. Very interesting is the data scope – the portal offers maps for entire Europe (of course, only down to certain scale).
Our company prepared map data for the whole of Europe. We utilized the well-known data by the SHOCart Company that were “tailored” to suit the customer. The final map data are of a unified graphic map service concept thus are nearly undistinguishable from the other map data of the Czech Republic (our beta version files are of the 5-8 layer level).
You can test the new service at http://www.mapy.cz/.
