1. Thanks for your support to relieving the tsunami tragedy |
|
A special thanks to those who purchased a Flashmaps product in January for helping us contribute to a good cause: as promised, we donated 10 percent of our gross sales, as we will do this month.
We also wish to thank those of you who encouraged us to pursue this aid scheme, thus making us more aware of this huge tragedy, and those who made direct donations to the American Red Cross or any other charity organization. We live in a really small planet, and anyone is a brother when facing such calamity. |

4. New payment options and pricing models |
|
|
In addition to our traditional
payment partner PayPal, we now offer two other options: |
|
- |
We can take your credit card directly on the phone. VISA, Mastercard and American Express are all welcome. |
|
 |
|
- |
If you don't want to use your credit card, we accept your checks. |
|
 |
|
|
On the other hand, we're designing new pricings for DB Mapper. If you only need to cover a relatively small area (ie, a few cities or counties), then our current 'Pay once, use forever' license is your best choice. |
|
But, if you need to cover several states or even the whole US, while you don't expect to deliver millions of maps, you'll be able to contract more convenient licenses, based on the number of maps you deliver instead of the area you cover. |
|
We'll be releasing more information on these new pricings as soon as the process is over. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Featured websites: why not submit yours? |
|
 |
|
Are you proud of any particular implementation of a Flashmaps product?
Submit your website and we'll be glad to evaluate it for our Featured Websites section. We'll link from there to your website as well as to that of your client's. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Need any kind of customized solution? |
|
Many of you have requested different kinds of customized solutions.
Specifically, many requested a US map where the you can color each state, as well as placing custom locations (dealers, assistance points, etc) with
links to their pages at one click.
Some products will be shortly released to satisfy that request. |

You can replace your POIs icons with your own ones. Simply build your new icons as little JPEG
or Flash files and replace the lnk_url attribute inside the POIs XML file with new ones.
Icons may be just plain graphics like the standard ones provided or complex dynamic and interactive ones, including ads, dynamic texts, etc. |

A thumbnail image of the building, or the company's logo make great icons. |
