etchr66 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 I just wanted to let everyone know about a great web site that I found that allows you to make personalized maps. Better yet it generates a very short url that you can share with others or you can even rename the url to a name of your own choosing. It is also very easy to add titles, descriptions, contact information and even images and videos. Best of all it's free to use. The site is called "a map to" at http://amap.to Just enter a location, hit enter and a nice scaleable map appears. From there you can hit the help button and watch the video that shows you more about how to personalize your maps. I also discovered that they have great customer service as well, with super fast response if you have any questions. Enjoy and safe travels, etchr66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep the Show on the Road! Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Great suggestion! I tried making a map, and it is very simple to do. It appears to be a very handy tool for showing the location, and perhaps a photo, of a place you are describing. I don't immediately see it as being easily used to show a route, but I have just used it once. I plan to experiment more. Thanks! Dave Keep the Show on the Road!

etchr66 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Dave, You are quite correct. It is really designed to give you a nice personalized map of a single location with a sort url. It is not set up to do routes that I know of. Perhaps the name should have been "a map of" instead of "a map to". Nevertheless it is still a great tool. etchr66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
