You can use Zoomin to advertise your business!

You can put the location of your business on our maps and add a description and photos.
It’s free and easy. You can add your business to the maps in less than 2 minutes.

Let me show you how by adding the SDX office to the ZoomIn site.

1. Go to zoomin.com.au
   Search for your business address. Enter your address in the search bar and press Find or select one of our suggested addresses. e.g.<a href="http://www.zoomin.com.au/australia/qld/brisbane/city/queen+street/300/">300 Queen street city brisbane</a>
2. Sign in with your user name and password into the site.
3. Click on to add a place to the map.
   Enter the name of your Business into the name field and click on Save. The page will refresh with place you have just entered.
4. Click on the Click here to create a description link below the map to add a description of your business.
   
   Enter the description of your in the text box and click Save.
   TIP: You can edit your description again by clicking on the description directly.
5. To add a photo to the place click on to add a photo to the map.
6. You’re done!

Now you have a friendly url to give you your customers to show how they can get to your business.

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

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 .
