In their own words
"Yup. We heard enough from the map mashup community: "can someone make a marker with a martini glass", "can someone make the icons a little smaller", "can the airport marker be redone in ten different colors." We decided it's about time that we help out the map masher community with a tool that allows anyone to generate their own mapicons...Now ANYONE can generate large and small markers, green and purple or yellow and red, with a variety of symbols and map marker styles. Some of the new enhancements include up to ten free markers per symbol/character set for all users, shadows, and speed enhancements. We've kept optional 3-D effect option to spice up the mapicons that much more. And we've kept the price at $19.95, that's less than $1.70 a month!"
Why it might be a killer
The Mapicon Factory homepage is colorful and eye catching. It is easy to navigate and has all of its information organized. It is great that you can get a preview of what your icon will look like so you can have an idea of how to use the generator before you decide to purchase it. The Mapicon Factory gives you many options to customize your mapicons, there is a lot of flexibility and users will enjoy having more control over what their icons look like.
Some questions
The Mapicon Factory does offer many options for customizing mapicons but there could be more. Mapicons could be available in multi colors instead of only one. Will the price deter users since there are free options available from other sites?
