A new sample of massive young stellar object (MYSO) candidates has been identified by the presence of extended 4.5µm emission in GLIMPSE images, thought to trace shocked molecular gas in protostellar outflows. On average, the new MYSO candidates are significantly offset from the nearest IRAS source (1.5 arcminutes) and thus have not been previously identified. We will present images of selected candidates and comparisons with other tracers of molecular outflows and star formation activity.
