bookofjoe: Schmap.com — Interactive Travel Guides

July 04, 2006

Google Earth + Frommer's + Mapquest = Schmap.

That's the idea, anyway.

You download the free Schmap player and then access any or all of the 70 interactive guides currently available.

PC only, though; the Mac version is "real soon now" — November, in this iteration.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Schmap.com — Interactive Travel Guides:

Have you tried Google Earth "community" option? Travelers post their impressions, reccs, and notes on travel.

I stumbled into them, because a former student is now treking in the Himalayas. This is how we "hear" from him: Open Google and look for his posts.

Wow.
