Business as usual
December 13th, 2007
You may be aware that yesterday was a rather important day for us all at Multimap, as we announced that Multimap is being acquired by Microsoft.
A lot has been written about the deal so I won’t add to that here, other than to say that while we are all very excited by the new possibilities that come from being part of the Microsoft family, it is still very much business as usual here at Multimap. We still pronounce our name mult-ee-map (rather than mult-eye-map!), and we’re still committed to offering our users and our customers the same great service, great products and great functionality you’ve come to expect from Multimap.
Speaking of great functionality, why not have a look at our new Wikipedia layer?
We’ve extracted all of the 140,000 or so geotagged articles from the English-language Wikipedia, and added them to our “useful information” palette. Once selected, we update the map with any new articles we find, whatever it is. We can even help you find Paradise!!!
