GosMap allows users to post custom Map Icons along with brief messages, anywhere they wish – and to GeoPost these as links to their Facebook wall. When visitors to Facebook click on the GeoPost, they will be taken directly to the posted Map Icon where they can view the message, and post their own custom Map Icons and comments. GeoPosts can tag trips, meetings, events, curious places, and be used to play games (zoom way in, GeoPost and see if its location can be guessed).
GosMap includes neat features such as the ability to toggle the Google Maps Traffic Layer and the Google Maps Panoramio Layer from the console (helpful when travelling or planning trips). GosMap can also “clone” the window to OpenStreetMap (OSM) at its current zoom level and location. This allows for quick and easy comparison between Google Maps and OSM and helps folks getting started with OSM to access and tag points of interest.
The Custom Map Icons that are posted can be hidden one-by-one or as a group (so that the user can view just the icons they posted, if they wish). Finally, GosMap allows any user to “flag” any icon for action by the site administrator.
Feel free to add anything you want to GosMap and don’t be shy to test it out! Hint: the “Permalink” button should be pressed before posting to Facebook, or if you want to create a link that can be emailed or saved to your bookmarks, etc!
