PRESS RELEASE
Urban Mapping Makes Neighborhood Data Available Free of Charge Through
API

Interactive Local Search Becomes User-Friendly
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan. 9, 2008 -- Urban Mapping, Inc. (UMI) the
leading provider of enhanced of local interactive content, today announced
the introduction of its free API for neighborhoods, allowing developers to
build applications that are designed with local search in mind. More
information is available at http://urbanmapping.com/freehoods.
Neighborhood boundaries are of significant value across the local
search and interactive real estate landscape as they represent how users
think about space, something ZIP code boundaries have proven woefully
inadequate at providing. The UMI neighborhood database contains more than
25,000 distinct neighborhoods, each geographically defined. Coverage
includes more than 1,000 cities and towns in the United States. A Canadian
and European product includes an additional 100+ cities.
"We are thrilled to make UMI's neighborhood database available to
developers. Those involved in local search have been craving a tool to
translate fuzzy space into something meaningful, and our Urbanware(TM)
product does that," commented Ian White, CEO of Urban Mapping. "Informal
space represents how people think and it's high time for application
developers to have intuitive, user-friendly tools."
Because UMI already provides its core database to leading portals,
companies within the search marketing ecosystem are able to leverage the
same geographic definitions for the same geographic keywords. Using the
Urban Mapping geographic definitions, smaller organizations can reap
benefits previously unavailable to them.
Developers may register for the free neighborhood API at

Urban Mapping's Urbanware products enhance the value of local content
for interactive platforms. Its flagship product, Urbanware Neighborhoods, is
a database of informal space, is used by all major portals, map platforms
and Internet yellow page publishers including Microsoft's Virtual Earth,
MapQuest and YellowPages.com. The company also offers a database of mass
transit systems and a novel geotargeting solution focused on the needs of
local search. For more information about Urban Mapping, visit
