Goodnight Australian ZoomIn Map API's

The ZoomIn Mapping System in Australia has been shutdown as of this morning (16/07/07).

We’ve shutdown the API, as its not viable for us to continue to run the API when there’s no level playfield for map data licensing.

We’d like to thank our customers for their business over the last 12 months.

If you’re looking for an alternative mapping system, please refer to either:

I am really sorry to hear this piece of news. I was used to using zoomin.com.au as its search is the best around.

Just to make it clear. http://www.zoomin.com.au will continue to operate. We have closed all sales and support for the ZoomIn Map API. We are in the process of switching the website to an alternative api provider.

Curious what this means: “when there’s no level playfield for map data licensing.”

Certain players in the market were held to different conditions in the release of data. For a start we had to obfuscate our data where others could provide it unobfuscated.
