Streetmaps API

Streetmaps.co.za is South Africas ultimate mapping solution. Sure Google Maps gives us fantastic coverage of South Africa is satellite view, but the one thing it is lacking is the ability to route from one destination, to another.

The guys at streetmaps.co.za have built up a fantastic mapping system that allows you to do this, and view & save your results. Yesterday they released an API, much like Googles mapping API, that will allow you to embed maps into your site, as well as allow for lookups of addresses and destinations.

There are loads of possibilities, like an interactive map that would allow you to report crime in your area, or find specific point of interests in a specified area.
