EVERSLEY, England - For three locations in England, access to area and national maps has become as easy as the touch of a kiosk. British online geographic data company eMapSite Ltd.has launched the kiosks, which provide mapping services for shoppers and travelers.
One of the kiosks is located at the Camden Lock Information Centre, located in one of London's leading shopping districts. Four touchscreens give users access maps and directions to more than 5,000 locations within the Camden borough, including retail outlets, restaurants, museums and ATMs.
The other kiosks are located at National Mapping Agency locations in Lyndhurst and Southampton. The coin-operated kiosk in Lyndhurst, which has been installed on a three-month trial, offers full-color maps for popular regions in England.
The National Mapping Agency locations are managed by England's Ordnance Survey, which contracted with Avatar Interactive and eMapSite in June to develop the kiosks.
