Google Maps API

At CrucialClicks.com, we are committed to advancing our products and services to adapt each one to the highest level of technological advancement and sophistication. In many cases, this means developing products that seamlessly integrate with extnernal products and services to make your website intelligent and helpful, while keeping it simple. "API" actually stands for "Application Programming Interface". What this really means, is one computer can programmatically (in code) communicate with another computer. An API is like a mouse and keyboard for your website. An example would be our use of Google's Maps API.

Google's Maps API allows us to bring the full Mapping and Navigation experience into your website. With this API, it's possible to not only provide information on how to find your location on the road, but you can submerge your potential client into the area they are going to go to, without them even needing to leave their computer. The newest implementation of Google Maps offers Street View, which is a way to see the actual place on the map as if you were standing there in person. Not only is this an amazing and immersive way to experience digitial navigation, it is also available on your website when you use CrucialClicks.com as your marketing platform. The Maps API also lets you map and print a route, which we use extensively in our API (but we figured that was assumed!).

In this example, your website communicates with Google using programming code over the internet to bring the benefits of maps to your website.
