More features update - MapdooID, URL & Category Panel

Here are some quick updates on the latest stuffs that the Mapdoo tech team had integrated into the system.


  • MapdooID is the term to be used effective from now on due to some complex issues arose with the deployment of the term MapID previously used by Mapdoo. Thanks a lot to some of you and especially Raja. Thomas, Angel and Dennis for your kind suggestions in this matter.
  • MapdooID is linkable now! As you might have noticed inside the info window once you've created the placemark of your location; there is a URL link shown below the MapdooID that you could copy and send it over to friends through emails, blogs, forums or IM easily. That will direct them directly to the placemark you've just created or any placemark that you wanted to refer to them easily. In fact the MapdooID URL is standardised into the form of http://mapdoo.com/?id=xxxxxxxxx hence you can refer the places easily into the URL format or you can shout around about your places and let your friends do the rest to key in the MapdooID into the search box.
  • Category Panel has added extra categories for your selection! Majority of the categories or types of your placemark you entered to create the placemark will be shown on the map when users select the desired types to be viewed on the map.

Rest assured that we'll do our best to make the Mapdoo interface as easy and as intuitive as it could be. Meanwhile thanks a lot for visiting Mapdoo and please help to spread the words about us. Mapdoo is a community website hence please help our tools and services improve with more users participation.

Again we would like to listen to comments hence you are always welcome to leave your feedback.
