We’re attending TheNextWeb Conference in Amsterdam on June 1st.
We’ll present Click2Map at the Startup Arena.

We released today version 1.0 Beta 2 Build 27.
It is mostly a maintenance release with some changes “behind the scene”.
It is also the first release of the Beta 2 series.

One of the big change is that the application is full UTF8 meaning that now we can handle foreign languages like Asian, Russian or Arabic languages.

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.

The Click2Map team is proud to announce the release of the new version (1.0 Beta 1 Build 26).

We introduce a lot of changes in this build, and we tried to maintain a backward compatibility with the maps already created.

Here is a list of changes:

• ToolBar:
  • a new “Edit” button has been added to edit your map settings
• Map Dialog:

    • New Tab called “Code” has been added: usefull if you want to add pure HTML code in the info window. You’ll be able to copy/paste YouTube video or widgets for instance.
• 35 new colors has been added in the default icon catalog
• Publish Dialog:
  • New option “Display Marker Description” has been added, usefull if you don’t want to display the marker description in the marker list

Hello everyone,

The version 1.0 Beta 1 Build 25 is out!

List of changes:

• The Preview of the published map is now a window within the editor. It isn’t a browser window anymore. It will prevent IE from caching the map during the preview and also browsers won’t block the preview page.
• After clicking OK in the Publish Dialog, a new dialog will open to show the URL address of your generated map, you just to need to select the address and copy (Ctrl+C) and paste it where you want (your website or blog for instance)
• A new field has been added to the Geocoding Dialog representing the “State” (usefull for our US users )
• We use a new Geocoder, so now you can geocode UK addresses!
• Some minor fixes

We want to thank all our testers and hope that you enjoy Click2Map™!

Please report any problem to labs@click2map.com.

Thanks!

A new version (1.0 Beta 1 Build 25) of the Editor is coming this week.

Changes:
