Here is a quick rundown on some new developments here at MapWith.Us…

Komen Oregon

We recently launched a partnership with Komen Oregon and Race for the Cure.

The official MapWith.Us + Komen Oregon Race for the Cure route and event map up and running at www.komenoregon.org. Check it out for race & event details, parking, and great photos from last year’s event. Stay tuned: this map will become the platform for real-time mobile photo & video postings from this year’s event!

We are also helping Komen Oregon show off the incredible work they do providing grant money across the state of Oregon. Map of Grantees:

Come along for the STP ride!

Seattle Times reporter, Sanjay Bhatt, made the trek from Seattle-to-Portland this weekend, riding in the annual STP bike race. “This 200-mile bicycle ride is the largest multi-day bicycle event in the Northwest, with up to 10,000 participants riding from Seattle to Portland in one or two days.”

Sanjay took MapWith.Us along for the ride, using his BlackBerry Storm, and blogged about the adventure here: http://80rpm.blogspot.com/

200 miles! Way to go, Sanjay!

We’ve been inspired by the farmers’ markets that seem to be popping up everywhere this time of year, and by their passionate followers. Here is a sampling of farmers’ market maps in cities around the US.

Would you like to contribute to or comment on any of the farmers’ market maps we have published? Interested in creating a new one? Give us a shout!

I hit the water with MapWith.Us Mobile this weekend! Our mobile app for BlackBerry performed wonderfully on a sunset cruise of Lake Union and Lake Washington in Seattle on Saturday night. Photos were taken with my BlackBerry Curve, and posted to the map in real time.

After a sunny day in Seattle, it was a beautiful evening on the water.

A clear night and gorgeous sunset over the Olympics.

The complete, interactive map of the cruise is posted here: Seattle Lake Tour Map

Earlier in the day, I took advantage of the weather and ran around Queen Anne hill, which may have more scenic viewpoints per mile than any other loop in Seattle…especially on a sunny day.
