Use this form to create your own interactive map. Once you create the map add markers to this map, highlight regions, add text annotations, upload addresses from Excel spreadsheets, and so forth. Share the map with your friends, colleagues, or get JPEG or PDF images. Make it a wiki map so others can add entries on the map.

Create a Housing map if you want to mark properties for sale or rent in the US. Create an IP map if you want to mark the locations of IP addresses of your servers or website visitors. Create a Crime map to mark crime incidents. For all other maps, create a General map.

ZeeMaps provides a International geocoding web service. Given a city, state (optional), and country combination, the service will return a set of latitude, longitudes (along with corrected city, state, country information). If you just provide a country name, the service will return the location at the center of that country.

This service is provided free of charge for trial and non-commercial use. In return, we ask you put a link: "Geocoding by ZeeMaps", on your web site.

In case you wish to use the service for extensive use, or for commercial purposes, please contact us to set up a commercial version for you.

The main functions provided by the service are:

	  Coordinates[] getCoordinates(String city, String state, String country);
	  Coordinates getCoordinates(String country);

	  struct Coordinates
	  {
	  double latitude;
	  double longitude;
	  String city;
	  String state;
	  String country;
	  }

The getCoordinates function takes city, state, and country as input. These are all character strings. If it finds an exact match, then it will return one set of coordinates. If it does not find an exact match, it will try to find cities and states that contain the input string. Then, it will return upto five matches found.

The getCoordinates function can also take just a country name as input. It returns the center location for that country. In this case, the city and state fields of the returned value are empty.

You can invoke the International Geocoding by using the REST or SOAP API.

REST

For REST interface, use the URL: http://www.zeemaps.com/geocode?city=&state=&country= which returns a series of Comma Separated Value (CSV) lines for the coordinates.

For example, if we go to: http://www.zeemaps.com/geocode?city=Paris&state=&country=France The result is,

	  48.866667,2.333333,Paris,France (general),France
	  45.633333,5.733333,Paris,Rhone-alpes,France

SOAP

The SOAP interface is can be obtained from the URL: http://www.zeemaps.com/services/Geocode?wsdl
