bigboyslim:

Please, why do we criticize any efforts made by Nigerians to be creative. Any attempts by our people to display their creative works is met with criticism. I'm not saying its wrong to critic an invention but please let it be constructive criticism. How would you feel if you spent so much resources working on a project and all you hear from people is, it is not as good as Mr A's. Google MAPs did not get to its present state overnight.

Thumbs up Ireti and i wish you the best with your project.

Iretia:

Jaco Maritz (a South African Journalist) recently asked Ireti Ajala a question:

', how does MapNTL.com differ from other sites such as Google Maps and Yahoo! Maps which also offer a similar service? "There are other companies who offer online mapping services but what makes MapNTL.com unique is that we know Nigeria like the back of our hands," says Ireti Ajala. "Lagos has over 400 000 streets but Yahoo and Google maps shows Lagos with only five roads. Those companies are world giants; they have millions of users in North America, Europe and possibly in other African countries like South Africa, but when it comes to Nigeria MapNTL.com is the local champion."

Very good work Iretia, thumbs up, BUT, your interface needs revamp.
it's like a FrontPage built site, beside the navigation is not too good. When ever you zoom in or out, the whole page reloads. why not make it web 2.0 like so that only that section of the The problem is the version of the mapserver we are using to process map requests. We are seriously thinking of investing in a modern mapserver that will deliver a slick zoom/pan functionalities -Ireti[/color][color=#990000][/color]

Also the adverts are too cluttered. Your adverts should maintain aspect ratio. i.e an image or company logo should not be shrunked or stretched. it deforms and looses taste. Even your own company logo was shrunked on the solutions page.
Thanks, we'll look into this n-Ireti[color=#990000]

Your company's good in the backend and not front end but you know what? Features mean nothing to the user, it's a coherent user experience that matters. Please out source your UI to a good company that can render your interface using web 2.0 like Flex or Ajax. Check out sites like Zenith, Mtn, GTB etc and pick one of their designers and talk to.

Am also thinking if you guys can open up your API, it will help other sites connect and make search using your platform. This means more reach for you cos your adverts on he maps will have more mileage, not just on your site
The current technology is not robust enough to allow this functionality, however we are thinking of migrating to a more stable platform very soon -Ireti[/color].


It will also be nice if you can port same application to mobile devices like Symbian Series 40 and 60, J2ME and Windows Mobile, leveraging technologies like Flash-Lite, kunerilite etc, as most people will find it needful on the move. I want to search for streets on the road or in my car most likelier than at home or office on the PC, that way it's more handier. You can sell the mobile versions as installable software over-the-air (OTA) and make good money through OEMs or Mobile Operators. Your car device is good, but that will sell to people who are "rich", there are more people down the pyramid who use a Nokia 6300 than those that can afford a 50k for a special navigating device. Why not tap into that pool, even if for just 2k, you'll have hundreds times more sales than those specialized devices. Thanks for this, we'll look into it. I appreciate your candid and constructive suggestions-Ireti [color=#006600]
