Mapicurious Gear at CafePress.com

We've heard what you have been asking for...so we've created some Mapicurious logo wear for Map Makers to spread the word.

And for those of you that send me an email, I'll create special items just about your map so you can advertise your own work.

Go to the Mapicurious store

Thanks,

Georgia Historical Marker Cataloging

In 1973, the book Georgia Historical Markers by Bay Tree Grove was published as the definitive guide for finding markers in the State of Georgia. The State has obviously undergone some changes in 35 years, and through various improvements (widening the roads, etc) some markers have gone missing.

I'm not sure if there is a complete catalog, but we'll keep updating the Mapicurious site with our progress at mapping them all.

If you know of one, use the Fun Map to let us know the approximate location - or email us.

We'll post county per county...

Thanks,

Map Management for TV Show Producers

Do you have a television show that is set in the real world? Maybe a travel show or a reality show, or just a local community show?

Think about this:

Your sophisticated viewers might have a GPS available to them in their car. You highlight destinations within your show, however, you leave it up to the individual to do research and find the locations.

Why not have a map created with the locations, to enable viewers to easily download into their GPSes? Therefore a viewer can have an immersive experience relating to your TV Show.

Mapicurious can show you how a map of TV Show locations can boost viewership and stickiness metrics.

Like I said, something to think about.

Valentine's Day Maps

Hey community:

Where are you taking your special someone for Valentines Day?

Maybe you have an activity other than a restaurant - a special park bench, a balloon ride, or a romantic hotel in the mountains.

We would like to see that on a map. Or just tell us via the Mapicurious Fun Map.

Thanks,
