Talk:Magic Lane

Help

{{help}}Sorry I don't quite know what I'm doing here. There's a big problem with this page because the company doesn't appear to exist in the way this article describes. The external links go to a Swiss company, not a Dutch one. http://www.66.com/route66/index.php?cid=BE-nl&act=5 What am I supposed to do? 80.176.233.6 (talk) 09:53, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps whoever wrote the article got it wrong - I note that the website seems to go to whichever country you connect from; maybe they incorrectly assumed it was HQ'd in Holland because that was the page they got. I don't know; the article lacks any references to verify the info - so, I removed the mentions of the Dutch HQ.

The page on 66.com indicates that they are "a privately held company headquartered in Pfäffikon, Switzerland." - but it certainly matches the profile (Geographic Information Systems).

Hopefully someone will try to locate sources and add to the article; if that is not possible, it could be removed. You could propose a deletion if you wished - see Wikipedia:Deletion process.  Chzz  ►  10:18, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

The German article, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_66_(Unternehmen), while slightly less stubby still relies upon this same information. The German version was nominated for deletion 7 February 2009. The company's history says they were founded in 1992 but makes no mention of previous headquarters. There is a Senior Sales Manager for North-West Europe job available at their office in Ridderkerk, the Netherlands. This could be a case of corporate "selective memory" in composing the history and the company was at one time in the Netherlands, or the article is seriously flawed in both languages. delirious & lost ☯ ^~hugs~ 10:30, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Route 66 is now called Magic Lane Ltd

I reworded the article in the past tense since Route 66 is not around anymore. The article could be left in this form since in the 90s, they did contribute significantly to bringing navigation to mobile devices or since Magic Lane Ltd claims to be a continuation of Route 66, the name of the article could be changed to Magic Lane Ltd with an explanation of the rebrand. --Llehsadam (talk) 16:33, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

I propose to rename the article to Magic Lane Ltd. I will add more sources and information about the two companies and their applications.--Llehsadam (talk) 13:15, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

Since the move is not a controversial one, I was bold and moved the article to Magic Lane as mentioned previously. Llehsadam (talk) 19:01, 3 September 2025 (UTC)
