Virtual Tour Travel Map, Self-Made Travel Guide Offers Online Mapping Solutions for Travel Tour Industry

Waitsfield, VT (PRWEB) May 9, 2007 -- MapsAlive recently expanded its offerings to include an interactive, self-made travel guide and virtual tour travel map that offers an online mapping solution for the travel tour industry. In addition to offering interactive floor plans and community mapping solutions for the real estate industry, MapsAlive now provides a powerful on-line interactive mapping solution for travel tour companies and Web developers interested in offering advanced interactivity at a reasonable cost.



MapsAlive is a Web-based application that lets anyone create interactive travel tours, travel guides and travel maps quickly and inexpensively. A powerful solution that requires no programming, MapsAlive provides innovative interactive functionality -- functionality which in the past could only be achieved by expensive programming. With MapsAlive, non-technical staff and Web developers alike can easily create tours.

MapsAlive interactive travel tours connect geographical locations on any map image to actual photos and descriptions of tour destinations. When viewers move their mouse over a marker on the map, a photo taken from that location, along with descriptive text, appears instantaneously. And tours can be embedded directly into existing Web pages, keeping prospective customers actively engaged and focused on a company's travel tour offerings.

"By utilizing an interactive travel map, a MapsAlive tour gives viewers a true sense of being there as they 'navigate' a tour route allowing their mouse to take them from one location to the next. As a Web marketing tool, these tours are in a category by themselves," said Tom Clark, Director of Sales and Marketing for AvantLogic, makers of MapsAlive. "It's like seeing before you go -- a travel guide. MapsAlive lets the travel industry bring their itineraries to life for a very small cost -- a big advantage in a very competitive marketplace."

MapsAlive is perfect for interactive tours of bicycle and hiking trips, tourist attractions, resorts, golf courses, cruise ships and more. Travel companies can benefit by using MapsAlive to sell their own travel tours showing extensive itineraries with photos of landmarks, scenic vistas, hotels and restaurants all on one travel map. Viewers who use the travel guides can see detailed information about destinations along the route, such as a hotel or restaurant, by clicking markers on the map to drill down to other tours or Web sites.

Affordable Technology
It's easy and inexpensive to create a MapsAlive tour. Tours can be purchased in packages beginning at $19.99 for three months. A Pro Plan is also available as a cost-effective alternative for volume users. There is a no-obligation, 30-day free trial for new customers to build and go live with their MapsAlive tours.

About AvantLogic
AvantLogic was started in 1999 as a software consulting company by co-founders Janice Kenyon and George Soules. They developed MapsAlive as a solution that makes interactive functionality widely available at a low cost. Kenyon and Soules have over 50 years of combined experience in software development. Recently, the company created an interactive travel guide and virtual tour travel map that offers online mapping solution -- and functions as a self-made travel guide -- for the travel tour industry.
