Zip2 was an online city guide that helped people navigate city streets.
Zip2 provided a Web-based solution for publishing and distributing maps and directions to the general public, initially for San Francisco, and then growing to cover 34 other cities across North America and Europe. At one point in time, Zip2 had over 125 employees. Along with MapQuest, Tele Atlas (the co-owner of which is TomTom), Alta Vista, Yahoo Maps, Microsoft MapPoint Mobile Navigator Lite among others have emerged as competitors to the Zip2 map service.
