Convert Any Image Into an Interactive Map with uMapper

by

Just heard from Andrei at uMapper about some amazing stuff they’ve just rolled out… From uMapper – UMapper now supports Custom Maps! That means that you can upload any image file to UMapper and convert it into an interactive map (examples below) within minutes. Custom maps can also be used in GeoDart games and Map Wiki’s. Similar to standard maps, custom maps can be tracked with UMapper Map Analytics, indexed by search engines and embedded pretty much anywhere on the internet. Ideally, a user will create a uMapper account, then they can start building custom maps using a variety of base maps including Bing maps, Google, OpenStreetMap, CloudMade, Yahoo! and CloudMade Stamen

Create your first Custom Map.
