UMapper

Last week UMapper received a great treatment in the “5 Ways to take your map mashups to the next level” article on the 10,000 Words blog. Here is a quick exerpt:

UMapper has some unique and outstanding features beyond the ability to embed custom Flash-based maps. Map makers can create a GeoDart game in which the user is tasked with pointing to a specific location on a map or use the site to create a map wiki that anyone can edit or share. One of UMapper’s more interesting features is the ability to extract geocoded locations from a block of text or web address. For example, by inputting the URL of the Washington Post’s travel page, UMapper instantly created the map below of all the places mentioned on the site.

Thanks to the 10,000 Words team for spreading the word about UMapper!
