Sougou Map API2.0 Went Online

BEIJING, Jul 20, 2011 (SinoCast Daily Business Beat via COMTEX) -- Sougou Map's API2.0 version was officially online on July 20.

Based on the previous API1.0 version, this version has fully optimized usability and flexibility of the map with all-round opening of such functions as search for bus route, self-driving route as well as destination, toll fees and taxi fares calculation, and life information service, etc.

Meanwhile, function that could transfer map coordinates between Sougou and other mapping service providers is provided with solutions compatible with the API of Google Map. In so doing, users can convert to Sougou map service by simply replacing certain character strings, saving a lot of secondary development costs for third-party websites.

Actually, Sougou Map has officially opened API (Application Programming Interface) in late June. As of now, Sougou Map has attracted thousands of third-party website partners. The introduction of Sougou API2.0-versioned map marks that Sougou Map has entered into differentiation development stage.
