Multimedia Information on Yandex.Maps
Internet, November 9, 2009. Yandex offers its users to have a look at interesting sculptures, birds and animals, along with an opportunity to watch videos from all over the world and much more. Now, Yandex.Maps can show not only Taganskaya street in Moscow, but also a monument to a stool right next to building 13 on this street.
The new map layers were built based on API Yandex.Maps using the information obtained from the project partners.
For instance, to include color photographs made in early 20th century by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, Yandex contacted the Library of the United States Congress, while photographs of the unusual monuments were provided by the users of Yandex.Fotki, the company’s free photo hosting service.
In addition, for many cities in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, Yandex.Maps displays information from regional websites – so, web users in Novosibirsk can see Wi-Fi hotspots, gas and service stations in this city, and people in Vladimir can see local hotels, restaurants and cafes on Yandex.Maps. Besides finding a location of a certain facility, web users can also have access to other information, like telephone numbers or working hours.
