MapNTl.com has Mapping Covered

A local Nigerian Internet company has launched an exciting new website that will intend to cover the short falls in other online mapping services. MapNTL.com was started in New York city about four years ago after Ireti Ajala and a friend wanted to visit a certain Brazilian restaurant in Queens. Not knowing how to get there, the two friends used MapQuest to search for the street and to generate driving directions to the restaurant

Ajala thought it would be a good idea to start a similar portal in Nigeria and thus the birth of MapNTL.com. It can be said that the concept is nothing near MapQuest or not new, in Nigeria it’s a step ahead as they strive to catch up on the internet space.
