MetaCarta + Moreover = News Maps

We are pleased to bring you the news that MetaCarta, a leading geoweb company, and Moreover have partnered on providing the news links for MetaCarta’s news maps. Give it a spin and find out what’s going on in your bit of the globe, http://geosearch.metacarta.com.  Zoom in and click search again to update the results and see more local stories, e.g.

Scroll to the right location and the sad tragedy of the Air France crash is shown, south of the Cape Verde Islands. For brighter news, try a search for “new species” and see where they’re being discovered, and a personal favourite: check out Antarctica for news about hanging gardens long since lost in ice.  (Leads to, what is the most geographically isolated news story out there?)
