Europe's MultiMap Selects deCarta Technology and Adds Ordanance Survey Content

Leading European Map Provider, MultiMap, Chooses deCarta Technology

deCarta, today announced that Multimap, Europe's number one online mapping and LBS provider, has deployed deCarta's Drill Down Server geospatial platform technology in its most current suite of advanced mapping capabilities.

What else is new at MultiMap:
+ Draggable maps

+ Ordnance Survey (UK) maps on the new Multimap site

The new Multimap site now has draggable Ordnance Survey maps. We've made the maps available across Great Britain, at three different zoom levels: 13, 14, and 15. These maps come from OS 1:50,000 raster maps; the original site shows these maps at 1:25,000 scale.

More local information: if you look to the left of the map, you'll see a panel called "useful information". You can use this tool to view points of interest - such as cashpoints, petrol stations, hospitals, and Wi-Fi hotspots, on our maps. Click on the individual markers to see more detail about each point of interest.

Improved travel directions: we now offer you walking directions as well as driving directions; the ability to route between points of interest, as well as between addresses; and directions for even more countries. And we give separate maps for the start and end points, as well as for your full journey.

Add your own favourites! It's no longer necessary to be signed up for MyMultimap to save up to three favourite routes or maps. (But if you do sign up, you can save up to 20 favourites, and see them on your mobile - see below.) Please see the "How do I add my favourites?" FAQ for more details.

Lots of new mobile features! Not only can you still push a map to your mobile phone - you can now use MyMultimap Mobile to see your favorites and search history, and find new maps, while on the move. Just register for MyMultimap, include your mobile number in the registration information, and you're on your way.

For more new features visit this page. They include:
+ Buy From eBay
"We've partnered with eBay to offer you the ability to search for items for sale from eBay vendors who are near you, or in a particular area."
+ New print options

Direct to MultiMap
Just for fun, look for the featured place image on the home page and take a guess.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
