Title: Acme Mapper
Post by: US71 on September 02, 2018, 05:39:52 PM

Acme Mapper (https://mapper.acme.com) lives again. Not quite as good as when they used Google, but it works.

The first thing that showed up was "Asian charm. Find your sweet cherry this summer." Nothing appeared for awhile. The missus was not thrilled.

But in my hometown, the railroad is named "Vicksburg Subdivision" (KCS's name) and US 80 is labeled "Dixie Overland Highway". Nice touch.

It was a small ad on the left side of the screen. Stayed there the whole time I was using it.

I got an ad trying to sell me mapping software.
