jumptomap.com is a new site that lets you create a single, relatively short and non-cryptic URL link to an address, viewable in 10 different online mapping services:
- Yahoo
- Ask
- Multimap
- Mapquest
- MSN
- Maporama
- Maps.Com
- Rand McNally
- Maps On Us
- Map24
Enter the address on a single line (or enter it in separate sections (street, city, state, etc.) by clicking on the “Enter Pieces” button). Click on “Make Links From Addresses” and you’ll get two links:
- One to a page full of links to the different mapping services, e.g. http://jumptomaps.com/1860-S-Milton-Rd–Flagstaff–AZ–86001–US
- Another to the mapping service considered “best” for your location (Google Maps for the US), e.g. http://jumptomap.com/1860-S-Milton-Rd–Flagstaff–AZ–86001–US
Click on “Show Many Links”, and you’ll get links similar to the ones above for other mapping services.
