AutoMapper

Add online maps in zero steps

AutoMapper helps you add online map to your web pages with no programming knowledge required.

Try It Out

The AutoMapper is so simple to use, that the explanation would probably be longer than a simple demonstration. To demonstrate, I include the follow address on this page:

243 S. Wabash Avenue
Chicago IL 60604

Now, I link to AutoMapper:

Map This Automatically (this is just a plain HTML link to http://automapper.oaktop.com/)

Click on this link and notice how the address above is automatically mapped for you.

Why

If the above demonstration didn't interest you, AutoMapper probably isn't for you. However, in case you like a laundry list of why you may want to use AutoMapper.
  • No javascript/Map API knowledge required to add maps to your site.
  • You don't need even need to be the webmaster of the site to add the map.
  • If Google Maps update their online mapping API, you don't have to scamble to update your site.
  • AutoMapper actually includes features from other mapping servicies, such as traffic information from MSN Virtual Earth. You get the best of breeds of online mapping feature.
  • Even if you plan to do everything yourself, AutoMapper can be a great temporary solution, while you program your own map integration.

How to Use

To add AutoMapper to your site, simple link to http://automapper.oaktop.com/ from any web page with an address. The AutoMapper will automatically scans the original page and maps the first address that it finds. Make sure that the address you want to be mapped is a U.S. address and ends in a zip code.

Status

AutoMapper has just been released. I have not been aware of any other service that uses HTTP referrer to map addresses automatically. I am very interested to hear what you think. Please let me know at peter@oaktop.com.

Mapping may refer to:

  • The making of maps, as in cartography, surveying, and photogrammetry;

In biology and neuroscience:

  • Gene mapping, the assignment of DNA fragments to chromosomes
  • Brain mapping, set of techniques to study the brain

In mathematics:

  • Map (mathematics), often a synonym for function
  • Functional predicate, a logical symbol that may be applied to an object term to produce another object term

In computing:

  • Data mapping, data element mappings between two distinct data models
  • Level design, the creation of levels, locales, stages, or missions for a video game
  • Memory-mapped I/O, hardware pretending to be memory
  • Page mapping, or paging, in virtual memory systems
  • Cache mapping, the mapping of main memory locations into entries of a cache (computing)
  • Texture mapping, in computer graphics
  • Device mapping, the assignment of I/O devices to file descriptors, file names, file numbers, etc.

In logic, linguistics, and psychology:

  • Conceptual metaphor, an understanding one conceptual domain in terms of another conceptual domain
  • Metaphor, cross mapping across two or more seemingly unrelated subjects
  • Analogy, inference from a particular to another particular

In operations research:

  • Mapping of operational areas for the placement of resources in Production, costs, and pricing sites
  • Mapping of sales regions and the location of customers for directing marketing efforts
  • Mapping of supply chains for distribution and transportation and logistics
  • Mapping a strategic "road map" for excution of business plans

In robotics:

  • Mapping of operational areas for the routing of robots on confined paths
  • Motion planning a map from exploration of viable routes

In religion and mythology

Map creation

My brother has custom research papers of this topic under AutoMapping... and tried to retrieve this data's on his page:

Creating a map

There are two possible ways of creating a map. These are manually and automatic. When creating a map automatically, the map will build up as a player moves around the mud. The manual creation of maps is done via the mapper interface in a similar way to most vector graphics drawing program. The method of editing the map is useful for editing automatically created maps as the auto mapper will not get it correct every time.

Creating a map manually

Maps can be created manually similar to vector graphics programs, or automatic maps can be adjusted. Using the tools in the tools menu or the tools toolbar, rooms, paths and text labels can be created. Each item put onto the map is know as a map element. By clicking with the right mouse button on a map element, a context menu is display that allows the map element to be changed. For example it is possible to set the players current position to a room by right clicking on the room and and selecting "set current pos".

To aid with viewing different parts of the map, it is possible to hold down the middle mouse button, and move the mouse to change the scroll the position of the map. By selecting the tool "View current position" from the tools menu, it is possible to center the view back on the player.

Creating a map automatically

In order to create a map automatically the directions but be setup in the mapper options dialog. The create and follow modes must be turn on. The map can then be created by moving the player around the mud using the main Kmud window.

It will be necessary to set the login room when when the room as been mapped so that Kmud knows were the character should be when the map is started. This can be done by right clicking on a room as choosing set login room. .
