The HighEarthOrbit is proud to announce the launch of GeoCommons Maker!. From the entry: "The goal of Maker is to push the boundaries of web mapping to provide easy to use and powerful cartographic design tools along with access to a huge amount of complex geospatial data. We’ve integrated Maker into Finder!, so any interesting or datasets can be immediately dropped into a map, customized and styled. [...] Another key aspect of the openness of GeoCommons is the key feature to export your maps as styled KML. This means you can build up a rich cartographic visualization, export to KML and open in something like GoogleEarth or WorldWind and retain the styling." I only played with it a few seconds but I feel the interface is better than other similar tools. Read more of this story at Slashgeo. |

APB discuss a press release about MetaCarta"s announcement of their Geographic Search and Referencing Platform (GSRP). MetaCarta are behind the open source OpenLayers, TileCache, FeatureServer and more. From APB"s analysis: "In other words, you can separately license their API"s but still have access to their geo-referencing engine. So, if you only want to use their geotagging or query parsings applications in conjunction with the underlying geo-referencing engine software developers will now be able to license them as they need them. In the past, the six modules (geotagging, query parsing, geosearch, location finder, save-search-notification, and document density) that comprised the MetaCarta platform were highly inter-related and did not work independently."
