February 25, 2008: Exactly 1 year ago on February 25, 2007 the Google Maps community GLOTTER.com launched. On this side a big "thanks" to all active users and recurring visitors.

What is GLOTTER after year 1?
Easy Web-Mapping! Creating new entries is intuitive and as easy as pie.
Compatibly! As we use KML for overlaying the placemarks all GLOTTER World maps can be viewed in a wide range of third party websites or tools.
Convenience! All maps can be embedded in other websites.
Fun! It's just fun exploring new maps on GLOTTER.
Service! The useful Services enjoy great popularity.

Some "highlights" in the first year have been!
The classic "Bermuda-Triangle".
Very useful is the entry "Flags of the world".
Whole Europe can't wait for the "EURO 2008" in Austria and Switzerland to begin.
With "funny Google Maps views" you will see the world with other eyes.
On 07.07.07 the "worldwide LiveEarth concerts" sent a message for climate protection.
A funny "Video-introduction to Google Maps".
etc.

We are looking forward to an exciting 2nd year and are thrilled about looking at upcoming great entries!
