MapCloud - Vancouver, BC - MapCloud Services Inc. announced the immediate availability of Version 2.0 of FreshMaps?. FreshMaps is an interactive web-based mapping system that allows Web developers and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) professionals to easily publish map data on the Internet.

Version 2.0 follows on the successful initial release of FreshMaps, earlier this year. Since its release, FreshMaps has been utilized by a number of companies to visually represent geographic data, in a cost effective manner.

Version 2.0 of the software is focused on new features and an improved user interface. "In speaking with our customers, it became apparent that FreshMaps is a very powerful tool, but it was intuitive only to those with a GIS background." Stated Cory Braden, MapCloud's Director of GIS. " As a result, we focused on enhancing the user interface, such that someone with limited GIS background, could easily generate an interactive map." In addition FreshMaps Version 2.0 includes sophisticated GIS measurement tools and the ability to place and maintain 'point of interest' buttons on the maps.

FreshMaps is unique, as the user does not require any specialized client software or plug-ins. The Flash format results in dramatically reduced file sizes, which optimizes system performance and positions FreshMaps as an ideal technology for wireless applications.
