Bikemap & friends go global

bike-ghana

Today we didn’t only launch Bikemap, Runmap and the other sites in Bulgarian, the tenth language after Dutch, Chinese, Czech, Polish, Italian, French, Spanish, English and German. We also launched an easier than ever new translation interface.

The Bulgarian version was translated by Nikolay Mladenov, a Bikemap user from Bulgaria, test-driving our new translation service. Thanks Nikolay! Catalan, Swedish, Hungarian, Romanian and Japanaese are in the works.

If you are a user of our sites and want to translate them into your mother tongue, just drop a comment below. It is really simple.

W00t! Bikemap.net hat eben die 10-Millionen-Routenkilometer-Grenze überschritten. Das ist eine Verdopplung im letzten Halbjahr und enstpricht einer 250fachen (!) Umrundung des Planeten. Dazu kommen noch eine Dreiviertelmillion Routenkilometer auf den anderen Plattformen.

Dear Geocubes: We feel flattered!

Dear collegues from Geocubes, we like your version of our MaptheQ.com, which is called Qmapr and was launched two days ago.

We do feel honoured that you liked our solution so much that you decided to copy it – a wise man once said “Imitation is the sincerest of flattery.” :-)

Our compliments from a technical perspective: Your clustering logic seems to be rock solid as well.

(For further information about MaptheQ.com and the underlying technology – and why it goes far beyong just clustering – see this blog post from a month ago.)
