The beginning of a new design of MapsGeek. Not the final version yet but a new logo, a new login menu and a reduced width. We'll update the design as it goes...

A grand new feature on MapsGeek today: the live mapping. In two words, the live mapping allow you to include the data to be mapped directly into the url used to call the map from your website! This allow data present on your website to be mapped live! Have a look at our example. Live mapping is available for everyone from the map interface for all geometrical layers.

There are new map games online. You can test your knowledge on the world's country but also on US States, French Departements and the Seas and Oceans of the World. Good luck !

We just launched a great game on MapsGeek! It's pretty simple to understand, a bit harder to play. All you have to do is locate the most countries in 2 minutes. Sounds simple? Yeah, well the game keeps the highest scores so we'll see about that...

There's a new way to choose colors for your maps: we've added the pre-defined color schemes from Colorbrewer and it looks great!

The color schemes are available for all your automatic classes calculations...

We've started the translation of MapsGeek into French !

Nous venons de commencer la traduction de MapsGeek en Français ! !

There's a new data analysis tool on MapsGeek. The tool gives you all the display options for a layer, adds new classification methods and new symbolization. You can access the data analysis tool by adding data to a layer and selecting the 'Create class' button.

We launched today a brand new feature on MapsGeek: you can now draw your own layers! We're using Openlayers which works really well. The layers you create can then be used just like any other, you can even make them public so other users can use them or modify them as well. Have fun!

3 new very nice (and big) layers today. The 'Oceans and Seas', just so you can add the oceans and sea names on your maps and the 'Depth Contours' also for cosmetic purposes. The third one is the main 'Built Areas' of the world. All three layers come from biogeo.berkley.edu and can be found in the World folder under 'Add a layer'.
