Multimap.com

Multimap.com was the primary website of Multimap, a British online mapping and local search service founded in 1999. The platform offered interactive maps, satellite imagery, and a searchable directory of businesses and points of interest. It provided APIs that allowed third‑party developers to embed mapping functionality into their own applications.

In 2006, Multimap was acquired by the German telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom’s subsidiary, ViaMichelin (later part of the HERE Technologies portfolio). Following the acquisition, the Multimap brand was gradually integrated into the broader HERE mapping services, and the Multimap.com domain was redirected to HERE’s mapping portals. By the early 2010s, the Multimap.com site was no longer maintained as a standalone service.

The company's contributions to web‑based cartography and location‑based services are documented in contemporary technology and business references, and its legacy persists within the mapping technologies of HERE.
