How do I create a URL to take me to a location?

You can automatically jump to a location in Nearmap by setting appropriate parameters in the URL itself.

Address lookup (automatic zoom, latest date)

http://maps.nearmap.com?addr=323 Bayview Street, Hollywell QLD 4216, Australia

The MapBrowser zoom level will be automatically determined by the size of the region found by the address search.

http://maps.nearmap.com?addr=323 Bayview Street, Hollywell QLD 4216, Australia&nmd=20120415

As you can see, adding &nmd=YYYYMMDD to the end of the address requests the most recent capture on or before that date.

http://maps.nearmap.com?ll=-27.895405,153.401105&z=19

Zoom levels between 15 and 21 are usually appropriate for Nearmap imagery.

Some browsers may not properly handle characters like spaces and commas in the address; in that case, you'd need to replace those characters as follows:

http://maps.nearmap.com?addr=323%20Bayview%20Street%2C%20Hollywell%20QLD%204216
