Map24
Map24 may not have the prestige or tools available to it of the larger map applications on the net, however it still manages to offer a unique experience and implements certain new, fresh features that make it an intriguing offering. Namely, Map24 offers Java-based interactive maps that offers some sleek results. While some map applications can be tedious and hard to load, Map24’s maps load quickly and the zoom features load seamlessly and effortlessly upon clicking them. The toolbar is to the point and not filled with useless features. The toolbar in Map24 includes options for navigating to the map's origin point, a brief zoom out for orienting oneself, a pan vs. centering mode, basic zoom in and zoom out options, and a maximizing of the map to fill your entire screen (making the map much easier to see).
Also, the map is full of useful map points marking different locations. These map points are part of a nice process that allows the user to click any two points on the map and view the travel distance between those two points. This interactivity makes Map24, at the very least, a solid map application.
The print options are a fairly unique aspect of Map24. When printing, one can simply print out the basic map or route with the bare minimum of roads and landmarks listed. However, the user can also specify to include other landmarks and to include the turns on the map itself to easily show the driver which way they have to turn. On top of these useful printing options, Map24 also offers plenty of “Less,” “More,” and “Don’t Use,” options involving toll roads, ferries, highways, etc. In addition to this, the user can also specify driving speeds if they want to manipulate them away from the default. All of this can lead to very customized and precise estimate travel times.
While filling out all of these extra options can take time, they can definitely be very useful and contribute to the value of Map24. On the whole, it doesn’t contain as much quality or precision as some other tools, however it offers good customization and interaction which make it a good map tool to use.
