Bermuda Disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle!

Hello to my friends at Google Maps - What happen to Bermuda?

I recently checked on the island myself, and did find it did actually still exist. No hurricane or other natural disaster has removed it from Earth - even Google Earth.

So for Mapicurious users that are exploring the Bermuda maps, for now, you want to open the points of interests within Google Earth. You will be viewing the KML version of Mapicurious maps. And the best news is this feature works with all maps on the site.

Send a location to your phone

Did you know that when you see a location on a map (typically one with an address), you can send that location's data to your cell phone?

This feature has been in place for years - mainly because I felt if there is a location highlighted on the map, it would be great if you could send it to yourself or others as a reminder to visit.

It sends a small file called a vCard - which is an electronic business card - that most mail systems know how to process and add to the address book. This feature easily works for email clients like Outlook and Lotus Notes.

If you've never heard of a vCard - pull up your address book in your favorite email client now. Create your own entry, and save it as a vCard. The next time you run out of those little paper business cards, send someone your vCard.

Then remember that Mapicurious can send locations via vCard.

Thanks,

What is Map Slice?

What if I wanted to see all of the waterfalls on Mapicurious?

Well, you would go to the Waterfalls Slice - by Mapicurious map. This map contains a snapshot of the waterfalls listed on various maps at Mapicurious.

When we have enough content to create an entire map of all of the interesting locations within a similar category, we create "Slice maps". These maps are created a few times a year, and hopefully you find them useful. If you have a suggestion for a Slice map drop us a line.

And that is what we've done with waterfalls.

Thanks,
