We’ve rolled out a new feature for our users that we think is pretty cool: map badges. Map badges are an attractive and low profile way to link to your map. They catch the user’s attention but they don’t take up too much room. Here’s an example map badge:

The Guardian featured a map from BatchGeo recently. The map highlighted technology startups in the UK. The Guardian is an extremely popular newspaper, with an exceptional online readership.
BatchGeo has become very popular with online journalism since its so fast and easy to use.
We spent some time recently to update our mapping capabilities to work better on the IPhone and Android platforms. Now when you look at a BatchGeo map on these platforms, the display will be sized appropriately. Also it will use the phone’s GPS to find the nearest location on the map, if you are interested in that.
We will be looking at other platforms in the future including Blackberry and the new Windows Phone 7 OS. Your feedback is appreciated, please feel free to post your experiences here.
