Today we reached quite an important milestone – 16,000 maps have been created on UMapper. While service is still running at beta status we saw gradual growths in both user-base and, as a consequence, number of maps created.
Our Flash team has just announced GeoDart launch. If you wander what’s GeoDart – see for yourself (just pick one of user-created Geo games). Personally, I loved European Countries game (though I hope author adds the rest of the Europe to the stock).
Yesterday we have released new feature on UMapper – ability to embed map editors to any site (you could embed created maps for a long time, but now you can give your users ability to edit your wiki-maps!).
Google Maps Mania has responded quickly with a very nice post – they named it “UMapper just got better!”. Well, I have to say that such kind of comment is what essentially gives us a spirit to push the development beyond the limits, where everything looks good – we want everything to look (and be) almost perfect.
Granted, there are a lot of areas where we can improve UMapper service, but getting a good feedback acts as reassurance that we are on the right track. Now, with almost 5000 maps (there actually more of them, but not all maps are marked as public by their creators) under our belt, we believe that beta-testing is proceeding quite good.
Thanks for your continuous support!
UPD: here is the sample wiki-map (original map can be viewed here):
