Google’s local representatives announced launch of the new Google Map today. This localization means not only a mere translation, but providing content about Hungary with the help of Hungarian providers.
 
The National Touristic Database of Hungarian Tourism Inc. (www.itthon.hu ) is one of the first data sources. The Webra 3.0 portal engine, product of AITIA Inc. transfers data about nearly 26,000 providers to Google in the form of a special XML feed.
