Bethesda, MD, November 1, 2005 -- Geocentric announced today the official release of CitylightTM 1.0, a hosted software application for Downtown Districts and Tourism Destinations.

Citylight allows Destination Management Organizations to self-publish and self-manage high value Interactive content inside their existing website. This content can include interactive maps, an events calendar, an address locator, and searchable business listings. Citylight organizes and dynamically publishes location based information in a way that appeals to both website visitors and search engines.

"Almost all the information that a Destination manages is connected in some way to the idea of a location," explains Jim Blakeslee, Geocentric Founder, "Citylight enables Destinations to communicate location based information to the public in useful and meaningful ways."

The market for this software is Main Street Organizations or Business Improvement Districts, because in addition to the high quality SWFmap mapping element, the product also features "proximity suggest," allowing for cross-pollination of merchants.
