Resource Techniques

Improved Google Maps has been passed on to our customers!

Google Maps is now clearer and more user-friendly than ever, which is great news for estate agents that have Google Maps embedded into their website! The changes have been designed to help users pick out important features such as roads, motorways and rail lines. There are three sets of pictures below showing the previous version and the updated version:

As you can see here, the roads have been clearly outlined. Take the A1(M) for example, it is now clearly visible and stands out giving the user a much clearer picture.

Again the roads have increased in visibility, whilst still keeping the satellite imagery behind it. The A66 and B5289 have kept their positions and design.

The busy network of London's roads has also been improved. The colours aren't as severe and the rail lines are now much clearer.

This improved design has been passed on to our customers! Each of the estate agents who have a website with Resource Techniques now has the improved designs and colour schemes. The screenshot below shows the team Wessex website with Google maps using the area above but with a much larger area.

Troy Stanley, CTO of Resource Techniques believes that it is a big improvement, 'The changes have affected 'Map' and 'Hybrid' and are not only beneficial for Google but also the estate agents who have Google maps embedded into the design of their website. The improved visibility will increase the user-experience and usability.'
