Airport Parking Everywhere

We started a web site showing most of the commercial airports in the world, with maps of the airport parking facilities.

You may well ask "why ?" seeing as though other web sites have it covered - especially Google, with their maps program.

Well, Google are pretty good for the locations that they have geocoded. (Geocoding is the process by which an address or some other entity, such as an airport, is given geographical coordinates). But that leaves many places and many airports out in the cold .

When you add in the complexity of searching for businesses, in our case airport parking facilities, you've made it impossible for the most competent of computer programs to know what you're talking about.

So, for example, if you've found your way to Google maps and you type in "JFK" you will get John F Kennedy International Airport. If you type in jfk, airport parking you are not going to get what you want, but airport parking, jfk yields the right result.

We really recommend Google Maps. It's a lot of fun. As well as maps you can see aerial photographs of the normal sort, and also clicking from the map (depending upon location) views of streets and so on - sometimes spoilt by a passing white van which obscures the view. And you can pretend to burrow through the centre of the earth to see what's on the other side (= the antipodes). Be careful though, you often seem to be coming up for air in the Pacific Ocean
