Want to find the face of someone famous?

It's available a new feature for filtering and refining your images search with Seekky.

When conducting a search, take a look at the filter line to check the advanced search options available:



There are three filtering options that you can use simultaneously:


  • Size filtering: Select the images according to their size, so you can choose from images for your desktop wallpaper with extra large size option, to small pictures to use as icons.

  • Content filtering: You can narrow your search to show only images that contain the face of the person you're looking for.

  • Color filtering: Lets you search for images in black and white, grayscale or full color.


With this new feature, you can get Leonardo da Vinci images as usual, or images with the face of Leonardo da Vinci in grayscale.

For children entertainment, you can also try searching images of Mickey Mouse in black and white to colorize...

We hope you find this new feature useful, and please, remember sharing your ideas or comments in your Seekky Community...

New online navigator

The new get routes functionality published today, puts at your fingertips a powerful navigation browser with step by step directions, full route printing, coordinates management, global mapping, multilingual interface and so on.




It's simple, just enter any source and destination addresses on which you want to calculate the route and press the calculate button. You can enter the addresses in your own language, or if you prefer, specify the coordinates of your gps.


Of course, you can include the route manager into your web page without knowing any programming or web design, simply copying and pasting a bit of HTML.

Check how easy it can be with the example that we offer in the form below:


Seekky

From:To:


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.

The following example shows the route to Pentasoft offices from any address you enter:




To Pentasoft from:



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.



We hope you'll find it interesting and, please, tell us what can we improve to get your new browser ever more useful...
