I like the map icons and the categories seem pretty comprehensive. I can’t draw trails? The widget is very nice though and much better than Googles. It seems the best thing about this site is that communities can interact with each other on a map (which I don’t think Google allows you to do?) Nice, but I don’t think I’ll use it because I can’t mark out a trail… or am I missing something?

According to the company, the MAPme widget is a pure flash object that lets you add your own images or YouTube videos to your map’s hotspots. And in case you need them, the widget lets you populate the map with a series of markers. To add a social flavor, the MAPme widget lets users create and contribute hotspots that may be of interest to others. Source> [...]

I see some potential in this..they need to “open it up” and everyone could be making some money.

Yeah, beat Google Maps. And MapMe’s most popular maps show 610 error while loading…or is Chrome the culprit

The application is looking good, somewhat similar to http://www.umapper.com. I agree with Chetan, that in order to ‘compete’ with Google you really need to differentiate.

Point of Interest -
“MAPme widget is a pure flash object that lets you add your own images or YouTube videos to your map’s hotspots.”

And adding these things to the Hotspots makes the widget interesting and geeky!

Looks cool. But can beat Google Maps? Will it?
