Draw Custom Routes Using USGS Topo Maps
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007In honor of National GIS Day today (November 14, 2007), we’d like to talk a little bit about a new feature that we rolled out a few weeks ago when we added United States Geographical Survey (USGS) topographic map viewing capabilities to Thoos. You can now create running, cycling, hiking maps of your favorite trails […]

So where are we headed?
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007That is an easy answer - beats the hell outta us.

Over the next few weeks, we will write separate articles highlighting many of the new features, […]
1 year later
Sunday, June 24th, 2007Wow, it has been one year since we thought of this whole crazy idea! Now, a year older and maybe a year wiser, where do we stand?
It was a big year for social networking, and it seemed like .coms were being snatched up for billions every day. Might have been us (but probably not) […]
Now display search results in map or list views
Thursday, February 15th, 2007Up until now, all search results in Thoos were displayed in a default “List View.” While the List View allows you to sort by different criteria, there was something lacking. Now you can also display those search results on an interactive Google map. Not sure what view you want? Just use the tabs at the […]

Monday, January 22nd, 2007After much revision, we finally relaunched Thoos with a new look. Unless you visit often, you might not notice many of the changes, but if you have ever visited the site before I’m sure you will have noticed the new homepage. After much deliberation, we came up with a homepage design that we feel works […]
