As we start ZoomIn Australia, I am reminded of one of my favourite quotes.

I find I am so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it’s the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain.’

“Red” Redding, Shawshank Redemption

ZoomIn Australia is up and running. All the usual ZoomIn goodness plus our Maps API.

Check it out!

I would like to introduce Spatial Data eXchange . We are the Australian partners of ProjectX and are pleased to offer the mapping system behind Zoomin Australia . With the Zoomin Mapping System you can convert addresses into locations (Geocode) and then map them.

There are many applications where visualising locations can add benefit to your customers and we give you the power to add this to your web site. For more information check out the developers area .

ProjectX and Spatial Data Exchange are proud to announce the release of zoomin.com.au.

We’ve been working really hard on our Australian site over the last couple of months and we’re ready to launch.

ZoomIn is an online platform to share information in your neighbourhood.

Here are three things to help explain what ZoomIn is all about.

Find

Using ZoomIn you can easily find any street address in Australia. As you type in an address, we suggest a number of alternatives to help you find what you are looking for.
We also have friendly URL’s for every address so that you can easily share with your friends.

e.g. Pitt St in Sydney becomes http://www.zoomin.com.au/australia/nsw/sydney/sydney/pitt+street/

or Brunswick Street in Brisbane becomes http://www.zoomin.com.au/australia/qld/brisbane/fortitude+valley/brunswick+street/
