How do I Generate a Route to the Location of a Business?

MapNTL.com is the number one online route finder and location-based service provider in Nigeria. To generate a route to a particular business location from anywhere in Lagos is quite simple and very straight forward.

Here is a Scenario:

You are on Alowonle street (Agege) and you wish to generate a route to the nearest UBA branch in Ogba to transact a business. Follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. On the Home Page of MapNTL.com, click on the "DRIVING IN LAGOS" Link

2. In the "From Address" input box, enter "Alowonle" (do not bother about the "street" suffix)

3. In the "Area" input box, enter "Agege"

4. Enter "UBA" in the "To Address"

5. Finally enter "Ogba" once again in the "Area" box under the destination address

6. Select the "Route Type either "Fastest Route" or "Quickest Route", then and the Distance unit either "Kilometer" or "Miles"

7. Then click on "Go"

MapNTL.com opens with the "Multiple Page" prompting you to select from the drop down list the source and destination of your route and then click on "Go!!!"

The next page to be opened is the "Confirmation Page". This page prompts you to confirm the "Departing From" and the "Going To" entries. Once you are satisfied with the entries, then click on "NEXT" 

The Map Page opens showing the route you have just generated in purple across the street map of Lagos.

 Search Tips

The most accurate way to search is to complete as many fields as possible. However, if the place you are entering is not found in our database, you may be able to find it by using a blank. A blank in this context is a system whereby you can enter a partial place name followed by a space and this will search the database to help you find what you are looking for.

For example: if you are looking for a "Oba Akinjobi Street"  but are unsure how to spell it you can enter part of the street name, i.e., "Oba"   This will produce a list of all streets in our database that have "Oba" as part of the name, and you can then click on the one you are looking for.

 

The labelling or placing of a road, or Street is incorrect on the map.

The map data itself including the road names and placement of the roads, rivers, and landuse is supplied to us by Spatial Technologies Ltd who also supply many organisations in Nigeria with this same information. If they have a feature incorrectly placed or labelled, they need to change this within their central database which is then included in various products sent to organisations like MapNTL.

Why can't I find the map I require?

We have street level mapping for Lagos metropolis alone but not yet for the entire state. Consequently you may not be able to find the exact scale of map you require.We are currently making arrangement to include the street map of Ikorodu, Badagry, Lekki -Ajah axis and other cities across Nigeria so please keep visiting the site for updates.
