Locators: Storefinder

Storefinder is a "Where's my nearest?" search which allows users to enter a postal (or ZIP) code, address, or place name to view their nearest stores or outlets as icons on a map. It works from your company's own database of locations, is quick to implement, and is available for most countries via both XML and HTML. Searches can be refined by product type or other criteria.
