Mark the world with Wikimapia
WikiMapia has the “Tag a location†feature that enables contributors to append a”tag” to any selected location by highlighting the location with the use of the rectangular highlight, and then setting a language to be used, a title, and determining the type of location using predefined location types(restaurant, school, residential area etc). There is also space for optional notes and users can also attach keyword tags, images and even embedded YouTube videos, all of which appear on the place’s info window. Users can also add non-rectangular places using green bordered polygons.
Location tagging can be done in different languages, 64 languages are currently supported by Wikimapia.
