GeoMaker update – new features and source available on GitHub

Over the course of the weekend I finished polishing “GeoMaker”:http://icant.co.uk/geomaker and “uploaded the source to GitHub”:http://github.com/codepo8/GeoMaker/tree/master. So now you can use GeoMaker “or its API“:http://icant.co.uk/geomaker/api.php and also host them on your own server.

The new features include:

• Embedding of Geo microformats into a text when originally you wanted to analyse a text and intermediate text display.
• Turning RSS feeds into maps (much like “RSS2Map”:http://github.com/codepo8/rss2map/tree/master) with an intermediate filtering step
• Total re-code (includes instead of one massive chunk, configuration and labels file)
• Help and About and Developer docs

See the changes in action in the following screencast (the design of the RSS preview has changed since – more obvious now):

The next steps will be to allow for multiple map providers. Got any other ideas?

• Download “GeoMaker on GitHub”:http://github.com/codepo8/GeoMaker/tree/master
• Visit “GeoMaker”:http://icant.co.uk/geomaker
