Hi,
I would like to annouce the availability of a new low bandwidth local map search.
Because maps uses a fair amount of bandwidth over EDGE I put a new feature on iTouchMap which uses a small static map image along with the text business listings. The listings include address, phone and directions. So for example this link displays the hotels around the Los Angeles International Airport.
http://www.itouchmap.com/?p=LAX&t=l&r=k&bn=hotel .
Because it uses static images along with a text listing it should load quickly over the EDGE network.
From the home page www.itouchmap.com enter LAX for the area and hotel for the search term in the Quick Find search box.
I hope you find it useful.
MacRumors, thank you for permitting me to post this feature enhancment.
