Puffbox map reaps results – murder suspect arrested

The Puffbox map application that Sky News is using as part of its Crime Uncovered Week has helped bring about the arrest of a murder suspect at large. So far our first project has been picked up by a large satellite television network, been the subject of several journalism blogs and made the streets safer by taking a suspected murderer off them. Who said you have to start small?

I have a basic example of our Google map on my website. Google are really going for it with their maps – the latest thing is to have street level 360 degree photos built in to the map. They’ve only covered 5 US cities so far but the results are fantastic.
