[...] Search Geo-Data With Finder. Sneak Peak At GeoCommons (Map) Maker. A startup in Arlington, Virginia called FortiusOne (based on technology out of George Mason University) is developing a service called Maker! that will let anyone easily find geo-tagged data available on the Web and map it.

Maker is going to be a fantastic map-making service, and when coupled with Finder, there’s really nothing else out there like it. Just a point of clarification: Maker was created by our team at Axismaps.com, not by Mapufacture (who are developing other key components of the Geocommons suite).

Using thematic maps together with pins create a great combination for data analysis. For marketing purposes this is awesome.

We can understand why In Q Tel “CIA” has invested in this project. Orange spin out http://www.twinverse.com is about mapping people somehow, moving people. Combining people and objects in the same platform could open great expectations for big brother!!!

Love the mapping applications!

Looks promising, but agree with the post regarding Google Maps API offering detail level options.

Time to do a trial….

It might be useful to people who are just interested in looking at data by population size, maybe nothing more. Have not used it so I really can’t be one to judge.

Looks pretty cool. Do you have to have a dataset in order to create a map? I wonder how it compares to our UMapper (http://www.umapper.com) service.

Geo-mapping is crucial for many facets of everyday life but particularly in consumer retail. This tool could be specifically important for helping locate small businesses around the country.
