GeoComrade

I’ve seen a number of cool custom maps but the map of Kerch, a tiny city in eastern Crimea, has got to be one of the better ones. If you’ve ever wondered what a Farmville-style map of a city would look like, wonder no more.

The cool base map aside, the application has a ton of useful features and interesting UI solutions. You can add points, events, perform a fully-featured spatial search, comment on places and more. As for UI, I really like the extended functionality of the navigator control and the list of POIs across the bottom of the screen. All in all, it is a great project.

Having been to Kerch several times times I can attest that the map makes the city look at lot more interesting.

Whew, the last few months have been busy… Now that I am finally settled (not sure if ‘settled’ can be applied to GeoCommons) into my new awesome job, it is time to resurrect this blog with a few changes.

New Name – GeoComrade. With the new name the scope of the blog will be a bit different – less personal stuff, more geo. Although I still plan to write extensively about the eastern-European geo-technologies (hence the name) it won’t be the exclusive focus.

Now, off to write a new post.
