Customizable embed code for your Vidmaps! 1 comments

Today we launched a brand new feature on Vidmap: customizable embed code! From now on everyone can easily adjust format and size of the vidmap to embed - without touching a single bit of code anymore.

Currently the following options are available:
Style/Format:
1. map and video side-by-side
2. map on top of video
Size (depending on Style):
1. 480x198, 640x264, 725x299 (for style 1)
2. 240x300, 320x400, 480x600 (for style 2)

Here's a sample result of the new customization possibilities within Vidmap:

Video Maps in 3D 0 comments

We've just added to Vidmap a brand new feature of the Google Flash Maps Api: 3D Maps! This allows you to freely roll, yaw and pitch the map into every possible direction. In the near future we will give you the possibility to further customize & influence the 3D look with aid of some additional controls inside the Vidmap player. To learn more about Google Flash 3D Maps read this very interesting article on code.google.com.

Youtube Integration 0 comments

There is one cool new feature coming up on Vidmap: Youtube Integration. This means that starting by the end of August'09 you'll additionally be able to geotag ANY Youtube video on Vidmap. The big advantage for those already using Youtube is saving time by re-using the already existing footage. Nevertheless, the current upload to Vidmap function will stay in place as a second way to import footage for geotagging. One big advantage of uploading videos to Vidmap is that there's simply no limit on the maximum video playing time (but on file size: 500MB max currently), which is unique compared to Youtube.

UPDATE: Youtube Integration is now available!

NEW: Geo-Tagging Worldwide 0 comments

Vidmap's geotagging capabilities have just been extended to support street-level geotagging even in countries which are not currently blessed with google maps driving directions, e.g. Bahamas, Bahrain, Bermuda, Iceland, Israel, Mexico and Sri Lanka. As a result of this literally EVERY video worldwide can now be geo-tagged on Vidmap.
