New Free Christmas Light Display Locator App Available For Download

Use the MapMuse application to find homes nearby that have Christmas displays worth checking out.

MapMuse, has developed a free Christmas light display locator app that can be very useful during the holiday season. It is designed to help families and friends find festive Christmas light displays near where they live or their current location.

"The apps are designed to give home decorators a chance to show off their spectacular holiday lights to the rest of the world. The Locator's users can either browse a map for nearby light displays to visit, or view them from afar via photos and video links," said creator and founder of MapMuse, Mike Pilon. "Our goal is to help those who create these magnificent displays to share their displays with other families in the area."

According to Pilon, the locator that the application uses is built on an interactive map. Homeowners who are proud of their lights are able to post their home on the application to let others come and enjoy their hard work. Currently, there are over 1,500 houses listed on the application and that number continues to increase every day.

Homeowners are able to add photos, viewing hours, contact info, and web links to their listings with the hope of attracting more eyes to their displays. This is great for anyone who puts on a display show in hopes of getting donations for their favorite charity. Another bonus, it helps create an easy list of houses residents can take their children to go see.
