Navigetter just got a whole lot easier. Enter a search into the search field up top... search for anything you wish - sushi, cafe, public art, live music. Or click on one of the icons in the spin bar at the top of the screen. Spin the icons to see even more useful icons!
Click 'What's New' and the left hand column will show most recent posts added. When you scroll your mouse over a post, the correlating pin on the map lights up. Click on the name of the post to single out a pin. Click on the drop arrow next to the search box to located additional categories (like Allentown or Dinner). There are over 1900 posts entered into the site, though you can only see 20 post results (or pins on the map) at any given time. Click >> to get the next set of 20 posts/pins. Search for public parks, shopping, romantic, lofts, green, Coming Soon, Super Picks... you name it and it's being mapped.
Navigetter is primarily a city-centric site, though it does include many regional destinations.
Recently added features are: Send to a friend, email, favorites, directions, multiple images, and RSS feed. When you use Street View, make sure that you click a pin so that we know what you want to see.
Think the map takes up too much of the screen? To toggle the split screen in either direction, click on the grab bar between the content side and the map side (it's got two perpendicular stripes). Just pull to the left or the right for more content or more map.
Remember that when you register as a user, that gives you access to features like 'My Hood'. When clicked upon, Navigetter shows you all of the the pins in your neighborhood (according to Zip Code). If your search results pulls up multiple pins, you can always click on the name of the landmark's title (in the left column) and Navigetter will locate your exact destination by pointing out the single pin location on the map. Navigetter also groups pins within close proximity of the content that you are looking for - be sure to see what else is nearby.
Lock/Unlock Posts - In the 'Unlock Post' mode, as you browse around the map, you will notice that new posts on the left suddenly pop up as you run across them. It's best to magnify the map right into a certain neighborhood before you click the 'Unlock' feature. Then, drag the map in any direction with your mouse. Click 'Lock Posts' if you want to lock in information that you have come across. It takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty handy.
If you ever get stuck, the top left Navigetter logo will always refresh the site when clicked upon. If you have additional questions, problems, feedback, feel free to send us an email to info@navigetter.com.
Tip: The tiny down arrow next to the search box will pull up a) the most popular searches on the site b) a toggle between calendar and weather.
Tip: At the end of a post, the Green Tags act as micro channels. If a tag such as 'Vegan' appears, when you click on it all of the other posts with a 'Vegan' tag will appear. There are some very interesting tags such as 'Coming Soon' or 'Concept' - look for them or enter the key words into the search field.
Tip: Sometimes you will run across posts that tell you that there are multiple posts at one location. That means that more than one pin have been dropped at one location. If you click on that orange notice, the rest of the posts at that location will appear.
Tip: After clicking on Street View, you will see the blue street grid appear. Try clicking on a pin on the map, and the right hand screen will split to show you the Google street view along with the map.
Tip: Although the Hybrid and Satellite map features are convenient at times, it's easiest to locate the different color pins when viewing in Map mode. The little 'Hand' symbol found in the center of the four directional arrows refreshes the map for you.
