Started adding a few places to the Chilling in Wellington group.

Got some favourites of your own? Upload away! 🙂

I came in this morning and really wanted to see what kind of places people were adding to Zoomin… So I put something together.

Introducing:

I’ve also found a couple of neat places this morning. Whareiti, Wellington Galleries and a outlook over wellington that links to a bunch of great flickr photos!

We been listening to your suggestions and making lots of small improvements to ZoomIn site.

Over the past couple of weeks , we’ve add scale bar to our maps and lots of tweaks to improve the address search.
We also changed the map rendering system, which has increased the map loading speed.

We’re working hard at the next release of ZoomIn. Lot’s of cool stuff is on the way, will keep you posted

We released a new version of the zoomin localsearch site today. Featuring a new power-orange colour scheme, cool indicative icons and simpler user interface.

Watch out for the next release (code-named Elephant) early next week. 🙂

We recieved this awesome email from Matt Purvis:

I couldn’t find a Mycroft (Mozilla and Firefox) search plugin for Zoomin so
I’ve made one for myself and thought you might be interested in offering it to
your users….

If you want to test the plugin you can install it from my (rough!) install page:

Well – I installed it and it works great – Matt’s even built us a cool little favicon – you can now search NZ addresses right from your search toolbar in firefox.

Thanks Matt! 😀

Zoomin has been mentioned around some New Zealand weblogs quite a bit over the previous few weeks. One of the coolest mentions was from Hitwise – where Sandra Hanchard did a neat article on us – thanks Sandra! 🙂
