\"\"<\/a>The “grand daddy” of geo sitemap generators<\/a> has recently included some new features. Geo Sitemap Generator<\/a>, first released<\/a> by\u00a0Arjan Snaterse<\/a>\u00a0in 2009, has added the ability to generate either a schema.org file or a microformatted file of your contact information. In addition to the features in the geo sitemap tool from 51Blocks<\/a> that I reviewed<\/a> last week, Geo Sitemap Generator supports multiple locations and now provides a preview of the KML file locations on a Map.<\/p>\n

The benefits of multiple locations are obvious if you need them. The benefits of the map preview are not so obvious but very real. KML files require a mapping API to generate the lat long info included in the file. Sometimes the information from the API, even from the same map provider, renders the location differently than reality or differently than the public mapping program. It has always been a good idea to check the KML file’s lat-long accuracy by loading it into something like Google Earth to be sure that it pins the locations correctly. Now Geo Sitemap Generator<\/a>\u00a0previews the pins on a Map for you when you go to download your files saving you a necessary step.
