Mapping the Web onto our World

What do we do?
We collect places of interest. We collect web sites of interest. And we show how the two are connected. We call this contexturl mapping—taking web URLs and relating them to geographical locations.
This allows you to find location-based information more quickly than using conventional searches; our contexturl searching also makes possible new ways of looking at this information.
We began contexturl mapping in the North West of Scotland, and we provide services to tourism in that area. We also provide web and mapping consultancy for other agencies and organisations in Scotland and elsewhere.
Why?
Try searching for a B&B near a restaurant, or for walks near your self-catering cottage—first using a conventional search engine, and then using our approach. Try hunting through government and local information sources to find a recycling centre, and then try us. Contexturl searching is quick, easy, rich, relevant, and accurate. It is also fun, not least because it appeals to the way we think.
We do not think in endless lists.
We are not happy with text-based instructions.
We imagine, remember, and think visually and spatially.
And according to Robert Louis Stevenson, Jack Hawkins, cabin boy, knew, way back in 1750, that the best way to buried treasure was with a map.
We, therefore, take that buried treasure, all that information lost on the web, and put it on our maps for you to find easily and quickly.
How?
Real people find and review the web sites. Real people find and geocode the geographical locations. Some clever code pulls the two together. Just for the record, at Intamap, we use GPS-derived, geo-coding, to provide a far greater level of accuracy than most other web mapping services.
