UMapper: Make a Flat Map Image Into an Interactive Map
UMapper is a very cool tool that Google Maps Mania posted about a while ago. The YouTube speaks for itself but I will give a short rundown. UMapper allows one to take a static map image, in a format like jpeg, and make it interactive like in a viewer like Google Maps. I plan to use it in the feature because it seems so easy to use. Check it out today!

Thank you very much for sharing this new widget feature! I used it today on one of my government sites and transformed a flat blueprint into a fully interactive map with images of the places which I labeled with the pointers via a click through. It looks incredible and no one will know it only took a few minutes to learn and perfect. Sorry, but I cannot share the link to that one.
I plan on integrating this into more of my sites as I modify them. This is one of the best website enhancements I've seen and certainly the best free widget.
Glad to hear that it helped you, Anonymous!
