[open-development] Fwd: [open-government] mySociety release MapIt Global, an administrative boundaries web service for the world

Thu Jul 5 15:54:09 UTC 2012

If you've been looking for a good way to look up administrative geographies
for anywhere in the world then take a look at MySociety's new global MapIt
service.

I've been using the UK MapIt for ages and it is great - so I suspect this
will turn out to be a rather handy tool too.

It's based off Open Street map data...

Hello everyone,

You may be interested to know about a new webservice API released by
mySociety today - MapIt Global.

Here's the site:
 http://global.mapit.mysociety.org/

And here's a post about why we built it:

MapIt is one of a planned series of Components that will make it easier for
people to build civic and democratic websites anywhere in the world.

Our director Tom has written a post about the overall Components plan, into
which MapIt fits. As you can see we're really keen to build these
Components collaboratively, and make it a real network of community
projects:

Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

All the best,
