The Company

Multimap is one of the world’s leading providers of online mapping and location-based services. Our company delivers more online maps, point-to-point driving directions and geo-spatial ("where's my nearest?") searches to more businesses and consumers than any other supplier in Europe.

The business has two parts: the consumer web site and business services.

The Consumer Web Site

www.multimap.com is Europe’s most popular mapping web site, offering a range of free, useful services to assist with everyday life. Key features include street-level maps of the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the US and a number of cities worldwide; road maps of the world; door-to-door travel directions; aerial photographs with map overlay; and local information. Multimap also provides a range of complementary services through its partners. These include hotel, holiday-cottage, and restaurant-booking services, and the ability to buy both historic and aerial photograph prints.

Since its launch in 1996, Multimap has become one of the 10 most-visited sites in the UK. The consumer web site regularly receives more than 12 million unique users and delivers more than 190 million page views per month. Traffic continues to grow on average by 30% annually.

Press comments about Multimap include:

In 2005, Multimap.com won the ‘Best site’ category of the prestigious Imperatives Digital Awards, and was named as the top-performing website by visits in the 'Travel - Maps' category for the whole of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, by Hitwise UK, the online competitive intelligence service. In 2006, Multimap was voted ‘Most popular navigation site’ in a survey conducted by MetrixLabs, the online market research agency and, in September 2006, Multimap featured in Hitwise's Top 20 most searched for brands in the UK.
