Once you log in, you can click on the POST option or in a given map to add and tag your own locations. But you may also use the bookmarklets. We provided one until now, but now we have more options. Check the bookmarklet page.

The Multimap bookmarklet is particularly useful. Google Maps or Google Local have no postal address searching capabilities for many countries for the moment. Multimap.com has more addresses. Mostly European countries, but Australia and New Zealand as well. In some countries, only town/city searches are provided (Slovenia, for instance), but other have options to get a direct postal address: NZ, Germany, Spain, France and others.

So, you enter a given address into the search dialog box. And when Multimap gives you the result, click the specific bookmarklet. There it is, you will save that address at your Tagzania account.

Another European geocoder, the Getdirections application developed in Spain for the Google Maps API, has also its own bookmarklet now.

We have named all these bookmarklets with the term Tagzai!

Surely there will come more in the future. User feedback will be welcomed, if latitude and longitude can be inferred from mapping sites' URLs or HTML codes, then the javascript code of a bookmarklet can detect that and create a direct link to the Tagzania posting interface. Maybe in our users' countries of origin there are specific mapping sites, or public ortophotographic applications that can be hacked this way.
