FMATLAS MAPPING TOOL


Check out this mapping tool (fmatlas) just launched by Fanueil Media. Built on the Google maps API, fmatlas lets you create a map, set up the points and info windows, then easily embed it in your site or blog. I just threw together the above map of Fall River, Mass (scene of Narragansett Beer consumption) to test it out. Fmatlas is in alpha and is not fully developed (I can't embed video directly in the info window yet) but looks to be pretty slick. I can think of a bunch of uses...

Note: I heard about fmatlas at the Boston Media Makers' monthly get together (thank you Steve Garfield), Rick Burnes of Fanueil Media was there.

UPDATE: Rick and I had a back and forth and got the video working. Check this map out. Very cool.
