ReidsItaly.com Italy Map
» View ENLARGED MAP with all listings
ReidsItaly.com maps. (Note: the one above, of Florence, is not actually interactive; it's just a snapshot.)Some people prefer to access travel information using a page (or screen) full of words (this site is loaded with those).
Others prefer pictures (which is why each major city has a mosaic of thumbnail images of top sights in the left column).
Others find it much easier to look at a map to get a sense of where everything is relative to all the rest.
ReidsItaly.com wants to help each of those people find the best the information possible. To that end, every major city and region on the site has an interactive map (and most pages have a detail of that map inset into the upper part of the right-hand column).
Built on the popular and familiar Google maps platform, these maps allow you to:
- Zoom in and out
- View things in a traditional map or a satellite version
- Click on any of the colored icons (detailed below) to read about each and every sight, hotel, restaurant, information point, rail station, parking lot, and other useful information.
Perfectly plotted maps
What's more, these icons were not plotted by some GPS automaton (which often places things in a radically wrong spot, especially in a place like Florence where there are two overlapping street number systems).
No, the icons on the ReidsItaly.com maps were positioned by someone who knows precisely where each hotel, restaurant, sight, and shop is located because he has stayed, eaten, toured, or shopped at each and every one personally.
In fact, you'll sometimes notice the "Google maps" label for some sight or restaurant that's blocks away from the ReidsItaly.com icon for the very same property. Ignore the Google maps label. It was generated by a machine. The ReidsItaly.com one is in the right place.
