Round 1: Streetdirectory.com vs individual websites

Last year, streetdirectory.com issued statements to the owners of individual websites who use their maps to either pay up or remove the maps. Typically, these individual websites owners place the Street directory maps on their company’s website to show location of the company. So it will be easier for clients who wants to locate and visit them.

Winner: Streetdirectory.com

I am a runner but not like a marathon runner kind, short distance say a few KM. . Anyway I chance on this website on running routes around the world.
