Last month we told you about a number of different ways UMapper maps are used in the real world. This time around we’d like to focus specifically on the News websites that use maps to make their stories more interactive and engaging. Our top five are:

Palm Beach Post allows its readers to explore holiday light displays in the Palm Beach area. This map was featured in our Map of the Week segment.

Gazette Online’s interactive map shows the locations and low ratings of Johnson County nursing homes.

Calgary Sun’s special report displays a map of over 30 homicides that took place in Calgary in 2008.

The Mallorca (Digital Newspaper for Mallorca, Spain) tells a story of how a Scandinavian drinking binge ends up in Mallorca.

The Sacramento Bee uses a map to show the route of the Grant High parade.
