HopStop API - an easy way to indicate its location

Most commercial sites wishing to identify potential clients address of his office, just use the address or, at best, a screenshot of the program Google Earth. Sometimes even specify the type of transport, which can most quickly get to the place of that. Service HopStop offers all this and more - it can indicate not only a map to the office, but also find a convenient route to his own.

HopStop offers everyone a free API, which can be easily embedded into your website, allowing potential customers to choose the most convenient mode of transport: bus, train, taxi, subway, there is even the option for fans of the pedestrian walk.

To create its own service, the project used a hybrid services such as Google Maps, MapQuest, and Yahoo Maps.

Interestingly, the service HopStop favorably differs from its better-known competitor is the provision of free API, which gives the opportunity to create the most convenient location to the office of the company using the software platform HopStop.

However, conventional free API - the day may be carried out not more than 1000 requests. In principle, for small and medium-sized companies is sufficient. With the purchase of premium versions, service HopStop provides unlimited version of API.
