Interactive maps for easy access of information



A lot of people have less sense of direction or for some, none at all. This I have discovered when I started traveling more; it is usually evident each time I travel with my friends when we would have to stop to ask for some directions. For some people, north becomes south or south becomes east or anywhere. We initially just took this assistance wholeheartedly but because of a lot of inconveniences and funny bloopers we have encountered, we decided to take along additional assistance by bringing our own maps and researching more about our destination prior to the actual travel dates. Thankfully, we have minimized those incidents of going in the middle of nowhere and we were able to have more fun in our travels.


A few months ago, my friends and I were talking about putting up a map for the group to see where and when we have already gone as well as show the places where we would like to go in the future. It was discussed over pizza and a whole lot of laughter reminiscing funny situations we have encountered and altogether memorable adventures we had on our travels.


The thought came about again to me when I came across this Interactive flash map. The map is an innovation in itself as it is fully-clickable and it can be linked to any information data. Thus, information accessibility is fast and seamless. This is quite perfect for our planned travel map.


Additionally, the Interactive flash map can also be used in more ways other than our travel map. It is quite perfect in any type of presentation such as websites, business market presentations and more as it can be fully and easily customized to suit the user’s specific requirements.


I have seen websites using Interactive flash map and their presentation is quite viewer-friendly. Interaction and navigation for website viewers or customers are quite seamless and easy; thus, information needed can easily be conveyed and accessed.
