The service is user friendly, accessible and it's for free, directing friends and families in the remotest part of the city.

Residents, businesses and various government agencies could use this Google+code to improve their mode of navigation and commutation to save time.

The service would increase the efficiency of delivery of services and make utility services like garbage collection, electricity delivery bills, taxi direction and mail delivery much more effective and efficient.

The PRO of Banjul City Council, Modou Lamin Bah, stated that the initiative is part of the City Council's drive in order to make Banjul a Smart City and also the city of the future.
