gVisit visitor maps

Sunday, August 21, 2005

Continuing my search for new mapping technologies, I came across gVisit, another project developed using the Google map API.  gVisit allows you to track visitors to your website using Google Maps.  I’ve signed up and am waiting for it to log my site sometime in the next hour.  When it’s generated, I should be able to see visitor locations on a Google map (the sample shown above is the visitor log for gVisit).  The actual map is a bit slow from what I can tell, and I’m wondering if all the map images are generated off the same Google server and it’s slowing to a crawl? 

UPDATE: gVisit has me hooked!  I saw my first visitor traffic (screenshot pop-up) come in from Buenos Aires at 5:11 pm.  Now it will be interesting to see how these match up with my other site traffic statistics program.  Upon a quick glance, it looks like gVisit is already filtering out the bots.  I’ve added side link to view my visitor map.
