Map Bureau was active from 2001 to 2006, but is now dissolved.
The company was an early provider of mapping technology for the web. Our pointMapper widget allowed people
to do their own mapping via a Javascript API years before
the advent of Google Maps, or the Yahoo and Microsoft API-enabled mapping platforms.
The Map Bureau site will continue to live, and you can continue download pointMapper.
HERE IS THE ARCHIVED SITE.Below is a gallery of some of our work.
