The integration of Google Maps into the Veracross school information management system embodies the comprehensive aspect of Veracross. With Google Maps, for example, everyone from teachers to parents can view the exact locations of group events. Users can search for specific locations, zoom and pan, click and drag maps and obtain detailed driving directions.
The maps not only permit virtually unlimited sight, they are also easy to use. Using the arrow keys or mouse, the user can drag or zoom in on any location to view detailed street information. They can even create specific driving directions, which include the exact distance between locations and the estimated time of travel.
"The convenience and advantages of Google Maps really personifies all the benefits Veracross," says David Bean of Breuer & Co. "As Veracross continues to establish partnerships throughout the world, it's important for us to utilize the most advanced and user-friendly technology available."
Currently, Google Maps includes road maps for the United States, Canada, Japan, Great Britain, Puerto Rico and parts of Ireland.
