Energize your web site with an interactive map!
Gardiner, Maine (USA) - Blue Marble Geographics is proud to announce the
launch of BeyondGeo.com - a new approach for publishing interactive maps in
your web site.
Blue Marble Geographics hosts and supports BeyondGeo.com map server
services on their secure Internet servers - interactive maps appear
seamlessly on your web site!
"BeyondGeo.com is a simple and complete solution that we offer on a broad
scale to every business and organization world-wide who wants to publish an
interactive database-driven map on their web site", remarked Jeff Cole, Blue
Marble Founder and President. "The cost and complexity of alternative
solutions is absolutely staggering. BeyondGeo.com isn't simply an evolution of
traditional GIS map server technology - it's the solution that the market has
been asking for. The bottom line is that the BeyondGeo.com map server
service will save subscribers thousands of dollars and months of time."
According to Larry Warren, president of Kingfield, Maine-based firm ACI, it's a
service that will catch on quickly. "I've worked with a number of clients who
are attempting to implement Internet map servers," Warren said. "They're
expensive and technically challenging. BeyondGeo.com offers a simple,
inexpensive solution that doesn't require hardware, software, bandwidth, or
having a mapping technician or web developer on staff."
Less than an hour from sign up to interactive maps on your web site! It's as
simple as:
Sign Up.
- Log In to the BeyondGeo.com subscriber site
- Upload your maps to your private account file area - or you can use the
detailed state, county, and street-level maps of the complete U.S. that
we provide. Your map data is displayed within a map directly - without
conversion.
- Upload your geocoded location databases (in dBase IV and Microsoft
- Excel spreadsheet formats) containing locations and their associated
attributes to display on the map. Your location databases are displayed
and queried directly - without conversion.
- Compose your map online. You have total control over the "look and
feel" of the map and map interface.
- Database fields and spreadsheet columns that contain hyperlinks to
pictures, video, audio, web pages, and email addresses will be
automatically linked for you.
- Paste a link (that references the BeyondGeo.com map server and your
map) into a page within your web site.
- Use your favorite web page authoring tool to publish the page to your
web site server!
The interactive map view that you compose will be displayed directly within
your web site. All without client-side applets, plug-ins, or objects!
You can offer these features to visitors of your site:
- Center, Zoom in, and Zoom out.
- Reset and Bookmark the map view.
- "Popup notes" appear for your database locations as visitors move their
mouse over them.
