GeoRSS support in Click2Map!
We shipped today with the release of the Build 26 a new cool feature for your maps.
Now, every map published has a GeoRSS feed associated!
A GeoRSS feed is like a normal RSS feed, the only difference is that the coordinates of the marker is also embeded in the feed.
How to use the GeoRSS feed?
When you publish a map you already get a unique URL address of the map something like:
http://generator.click2map.com/maps/[username]/[map_name].
Now you can add “/georss” at end of the URL address and you’ll get the GeoRSS feed!
People visiting or using your map can now subscribe to your map feed by clicking the classic orange icon on the map page (note that all new moderns browsers detect also automatically the feed).
Then they will use their favorite news aggregator to read the map feed. They will be automatically informed when you add a new marker on your map!
We hope that you will enjoy this feature and don’t hesitate to give us some feedback about it.

First of all I thank you for this excelent work. It’s a great advance in the world of Geo. The site is excelent.
I see that is grouing up and I’d like to make some sugestions:
. drag and drop markers and groups;
. search places by coordinates; add a place with coordinates;
. why not a way to create an offline map? To see when we don’t have internet access? Like to publish to the hard drive…
Thanks!!
