You can enter the addresses in your own language, or if you prefer, specify the coordinates of your gps.<br /><p></p><br />Of course, you can <a href="http://www.seekky.com/about.aspx#la_routecalculation" target="_blank">include the route manager into your web page</a> without knowing any programming or web design, simply copying and pasting a bit of HTML.<br /><br />Check how easy it can be with the example that we offer in the form below:<p></p><br /><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><form method="get" action="http://seekky.com/gmap.aspx"><table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><img src="http://seekky.com/img/seekky01.gif" alt="Seekky" /></td><td><input name="hl" value="en" type="hidden"><br /></td><td><input name="sr" value="1" type="hidden"><br /></td><td><nobr>From:</nobr></td><td><input name="saddr" maxlength="2048" size="15" value="London"></td><td><nobr>To:</nobr></td><td><input name="daddr" maxlength="2048" size="15" value="Paris"></td><td><input value="Calculate" type="submit"></td></tr></tbody></table></form></div><p></p><br />You may also find useful an example to calculate the route from or to a spot that you prefix, such as your home, your business office, a place of interest, a meeting point, and so on. In that case, you can set the reference address on the form and only ask about the origin where the user wants to reach.<br /><br />The following example shows the route to Pentasoft offices from any address you enter:<p></p><br /><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><form method="get" action="http://seekky.com/gmap.aspx"><table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><input name="hl" value="en" type="hidden"><br /></td><td><input name="sr" value="1" type="hidden"><br /></td><td><nobr>To Pentasoft from:</nobr></td><td><input name="saddr" maxlength="2048" size="25" value="Berlin"></td><td><input name="daddr" maxlength="2048" size="15" value="Valentín Beato, 24, Madrid, España" type="hidden"><br /></td><td><input value="Go..." type="submit"></td></tr></tbody></table></form></div><p></p><br /> <br />The interface where you see the results of the route, is an interactive map that allows various types of views (map, satellite, hybrid, 3D, etc.). It also offers a comprehensive positioning and zooming system. You can use the left sidebar with step by step directions to preview addresses just clicking on each one.<p></p><br /><a href="http://seekky.com/gmap.aspx?hl=en&sr=1&saddr=Berlin&daddr=Valent%C3%ADn+Beato+24+Madrid+Espa%C3%B1a" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW6EepEMF0o-dQ6rGcNWT74b6QDkJeDYBHHArjtk-u7XO1gGllTZc2uqFcrEXjmA_uoI9eFu-AIeBhX6yGFHGuSN1S4pg-kvWBLpfFkY_jmrtmvdGrekx5g1L2qAleUK65BJE44ssDP1s/s400/route_sevilla.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229497181249305458" border="0" /></a><p></p><br />We hope you'll find it interesting and, please, <a href="mailto:feedback@seekky.com">tell us what can we improve</a> to get your new browser ever more useful...<br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452949408528127951.post-89320901449259569062008-06-17T19:24:00.016+02:002008-06-21T13:13:22.358+02:00Translate and listen with Ginger<a href="http://seekky.com/translate.aspx?hl=en&sl=en&tl=es&agent=1&ps=1&pt=1&st=Hello%2C%20my%20name%20is%20Ginger." target="_blank">Ginger</a> is the new translator of Seekky.

The new technique consist of finding similar pages to each result when conducting any search. In the same way, you can also preview documents related to each result item, as well as additional results pages within the same domain as the site that you're previewing.<br /><p></p><br />The following picture shows an example of the similar pages listing you get as a result of your search <a href="http://seekky.com/search.aspx?hl=en&q=cnn" target="_blank">CNN</a>.<br /><p></p><br /><a href="http://seekky.com/search.aspx?hl=en&q=cnn" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAttKkwfdZ71yckTIdYRnT1pr_0fkkI93cw7d1cBi2vMh336mwnqVsIftoAiFKJBSoxYwWBstvT48P8nwoWeIkEeDK57XXajLYt_t5S8IgL3PVxOjUDwCxeunAgMGZCd506xtC7EAh5G4/s400/similar_pages.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203626730815420562" border="0" /></a><br /><p></p><br />By clicking on the similar pages icon for the "CNN" result item, you get a hit list containing links to the websites of other news agencies or channels like "ABC", "BBC" and others...<br /><p></p><br />In the same way operates related documents link.

Click in the bird's view link of the London eye entry and move around the resulting image.<br /><br />The imagery is Microsoft Virtual Earth courtesy and is available for about 250 major cities around the world. If your city it's not included, be patient, they are working hard to include all major north american and european cities with bird's view imaginery...If you don't want to wait, you can always use the satellite view link, a higher point of view, but on the contrary available all over the world...<br /><br />You can add the address lookup functionality to your page.
