New Ask.com maps, and a bookmarklet adapted to them

Yesterday, as well, Ask.com unveiled new maps.  They are great, in the line of the Google Maps experience. Drag and move, zoom in, zoom out, change satellite and map views...

Particularly interesting for Europe as they have roadmaps, streeplans and addresses for many countries. Specially important for central and eastern European countries, as before this, no big mapping websites like Multimap or Mapblast had streetplans so detailed for Hungary or Polish cities.

Reverse geocoding is also nice in this application. Right-click with your mouse on a given point, and you get the address.

And well, we already have a bookmarklet to save places that you find in Budapest or anywhere else with Ask.com maps. Install the Tagzai! Ask Maps bookmarklet from our section. Then, when you find a certain point of interest, double click on map to center on that location. On the right upper corner of the map, you'll see a link Link to this page, as shown in the picture.

Important: first click on that Link to this page link, and then use the bookmarklet.
