GoDaddy has introduced an interesting geo-domain locator tool, GeoMapDomain, using Bing Maps for the backend. It provides an interesting way to find whether specific towns, villages or neighborhood domains and variations are available via a mapping interface.
From the Bing Blog post:
The GeoDomainMap takes your location input and finds nearby neighborhoods. Then, it takes your keywords and appends your keywords, sans white space, and creates a domain name. It then checks the GoDaddy database of available domain names and returns those that are available.
Let the neighborhood domain gold rush begin!
Haha years ago I had to this manually by referring to Goole Earth when I want to acquire location specific related domain. Thanks for this great info sharing!

I was thinking about redoing my site to a more domain, Only problem is this tool hardly works in Mexico!

This is a great tool to expand your website. It can help you focus on small businesses in niche markets. You can search for certain domains that get the most hits in a small sub city. This is great for finding non competitive markets.
