Adds Patrolled Surf Beach Information with Whereis
Whereis.com enables people to find addresses, places of interest and businesses. Whereis.com provides navigation maps for the countries of Australia and New Zealand. The data products are developed to suit portable and in-car navigation consumers. Their products are used by reputed corporations to supervising the programs and routes of fleets. Whereis® products and services complement and combine with other Sensis® products – including Yellow™ and White Pages® directories, and the Citysearch® site – to deliver location orientated services across Internet, portable and WAP channels.
Recently Whereis map service has added information on 300 Australian beaches from Surf Life Saving Australia, including whether the beach is patrolled and an overall safety rating. The data can be accessed via Whereis-based GPS systems, or on the Whereis site — though the navigation to find individual beaches from the master list is pretty awkward. Users simply enter street, suburb and state details into data entry fields, select ’search’ and walah! They are presented with a printable map or directions to the location of their nomination.
Whereis® also offers the following:
*Ability to embed location-based functionality into your own applications and websites
*Whereis® Advertiser Buttons, ideal for retail organisations with multiple outlets or locations, or consumer brands that sell their products through a geographically dispersed range of retail outlets
