ZoomAtlas announced today the launch of its free, photo-realistic wiki-mapping site. The site combines the technology of interactive maps with the social networking of Facebook for users to post notes, stories and insights to reconnect its users with friends, family and places from their past.
The ZoomAtlas geo-social networking site is the largest, most detailed, lifelike map of the United States that blends satellite imagery with capabilities for users to personally update properties. Through site-customization tools users can update map details including roads, railroads, waterways, sidewalks and property lines to miniscule landscaping details like grass, flowers and bricks on residences, restaurants, schools, parks, workplaces and more. Beyond updating location-specific aesthetics and details from the past, the map enables users to post information and notes for family and friends at important locations in their collective lives.
Users’ ability to find old friends and family is dependent on the quantity and details of the information they post to the site.
Individuals are encouraged to post as much detail as possible about a place or memory to increase their chances of reconnecting with people from the past. They can also map their lives using the LifePath feature which creates a visual timeline of the places they have been and lived. The timeline can then be posted on Facebook to share with friends.
Anyone can use all site features anonymously, including searching, editing articles, and uploading pictures. Users may even use the detailed editing tools to edit map features. To post notes, individuals must create a profile or link to their Facebook profile.
