We have been working on a new version of iMap that is about to be released. There are a bunch of new features and enhanced ones that all need to be tested. If anyone wants to test drive these new features and help us finish them off, then feel free to contact us at the following email address: beta@guimkie.com.
Major changes to iMap 2.7 include:
- iMap is project-based. You can now create a project for each site you have in iWeb.
- You can now verify either by uploading the HTML file or adding a meta-tag.
- Meta-Tags are being added 2x as fast with less errors.
- iMap has been localized into German. Anyone interested in localizing iMap then please contact us at the above email address.
We are expecting to push this update out to everyone by October 19th.
I have just released an update for iMap. It includes the following changes:
- “Create” button now works by hitting “Enter.”
- Addition of meta-tags occasionally failed with Google Verification files. This has now been fixed..
- Corrected “Help” menu items to include new video tutorials.
- Enhanced speed connections with MobileMe/.Mac.
If you have problems updating, let me know. Keep in mind it’s always best to run the latest version of iMap.
If you watched the tutorial on how to use iMap, then you’ll probably going to like this.
This is the second part to the tutorial. It explains how to use iMap in conjunction with the Google Webmaster Tools: how to get a Google Webmaster Tools project, how to verify your site and add a sitemap. All this will ultimately help you to show up on Google.
If you haven’t watched the first tutorial just yet, then go ahead and do that first.

As promised in the previous post, I am releasing the update for iMap. This is update 2.6. I really recommend that you update to this version. It is by now the most stable and best build of iMap (well the best version is the next one … but you get the idea). The changes are listed below, but you can take a look at them through a video as well.
- The helpbook has been heavily improved. It now includes a whole documentation, FAQ as well as a written guide for the online video tutorial.
- iMaps interface buttons have been modified to get enabled/disabled according to their usage.
- Full support for MobileMe (and still .Mac)
- iMap can now be controlled via shortcuts. Read more about them in the helpbook.
Those were some of the changes that you are actually “seeing.” Here is a list of some bugs that got fixed:
- Fixed the bug with no copy/paste
- Fixed the bug where iMap failed to add Meta-Tags due to the Google Verification file.
- Fixed the bug where iMap gave the message it was not supported by the architecture.
- Fixed the bug that iMap adds the Google Verification file into the sitemap. Google Verfication, index and all other unimportant HTML files are no longer included in the sitemap.
- Many other minor bugs fixed…
I hope you enjoy the new update. Though, don’t be to happy … iMap 3 is on it’s way.
