It wasn’t all that long ago that we were writing about how much mapping has changed in the last decade compared to the last few centuries. Map collector David Rumsey has been busy putting up 120 maps from his collection of more than 150,000 historical maps online. All of the maps can be downloaded for personal use through creative commons licensing. What is most interesting is that he isn’t just posting these maps online for …

Over the weekend nuCloud deployed the 2.4.1 release of our Interactive Campus Map (ICM) platform to all customers.

I keep a whole folder bookmarking interactive maps and virtual tours that I really like. Besides being a great inspiration for future features to develop it is just fun to compare how our product stacks up with the competition.

It has been a while since we have shared any of the fun interactive maps we’ve discovered across the web. We are always monitoring what others are putting out.
