New version of Wikimapia released

We released the new version of Wikimapia. It is the next step in Wikimapia development to make the map more readable for users. A few months after launching Wikimapia we faced the problem of rectangles' mess in populated areas. Previous version of Wikimapia with rectangles was quite unreadable by ordinary visitors, we found this out by several usability tests.

To give a visual presentation of changes here is a demonstration of Wikimapia in old version:

New Wikimapia presents this in a better way:

Old version of Wikimapia is available on the "Map type" menu as a Classic Wikimapia option.

Let's describe the whole world!
