Look: They are talking together

mapreg5.jpgJust a small not about some new features in WoO Calendar and WoO Maps. The fantastic thing about adding geographic location to items, is that you can easily relate items to each other. Now WoO Maps and WoO Calendar talk to each other! That is, after recent updates, it is now possible to search for maps in the vicinity of a competition in WoO Calendar, and correspondingly search for competitions in the vicinity of an orienteering map in WoO Maps. Thus, you can now check if there are other maps available close to a competition, and if there have been competition previously in the area of maps you are interested in.

A few other new features:

  • Each map now has a specific page. If you click “View all available info” in WorldofO Maps, you get up the map page (see example below). This page contains all available information for the map, including the source ID for maps from national map registers.
  • In WoO Calendar you can now search for pictures from the website “Panoramio” in the area of a competition. This is useful if you want to know more about the scenery in the area of a competition.
  • As I wrote in a previous post, it is now possible to add your own maps to World of O Maps.
