Trade Me have just released their new maps site smaps, powered by the new ZoomIn Mapping System.

The site is using our new maps. The new map design include better definition of streets and labelling of points of interest.

Propertyradar – A new real estate site has just launched powered by ZoomIn Maps.

It has some really nice features that allow you to save the properties that your’re interested in and ignore the ones that you don’t like.

Congrats to the Property Radar team.
