ZoomIn API's are now closed

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

We shutdown the ZoomIn Map API and Geocoder API this morning. We’ve served a lot of maps and now its time for us to offer more higher value services.

Thank you to all the developers and customers that use our API’s over the past couple of years. And a big thank to all the ProjectX developers who worked on the API’s over the years – Ben, Nick, Ross, Tomek, Tim and Thong.
