The busy team here at MapWith.Us is starting out the New Year right by bringing you a fresh new design! We launched an entirely new look and feel last week.

We wanted to show off our real-time mobile mapping technology and also highlight the growing Business Solutions aspect of our company. Our business partnering capabilities are expanding, with embedded map design/integration services and layered data-set mapping.

Our online map creation toolkit has also been enhanced. A bunch of new features have been rolled out, including:

-    A new photo viewing library using Lytebox (thanks to http://dolem.com/lytebox/)

-    Timelines for map updates

-    Drag and drop tool for map item creation

Check out the new site and let us know what you think!

We are moving as fast as we can to bring you more advanced mapping tools and enhancements: user profile customization with widgets, a commenting system, map analytics for businesses, and … the MapWith.Us Facebook App!
