Today we’re launching My Maps, personalized maps for each registered user on the site. My Maps is a customizable dashboard for each user to view their network’s friends, reviews, and groups, and quickly geo-search their personal network to make new friends, discover new places, and find the perfect hotel at the perfect price.
We really wanted to make something special for you by creating this map as a powerful yet elegant platform for exploring the world through your eyes. We spent months working to create what we hope will be nothing less than an extraordinary user experience.
With My Maps, your reviews, friends, and groups are all presented on your personalized map. Searching, sorting, and filtering this content is instantaneous and easy as pie. We’ve made it fast and fun to search your network of friends and groups to get great advice on where to stay on your next vacation or business trip.
You can read user profiles, hotel reviews, and group descriptions, or browse hotel photos all without leaving your map. You can zoom into a geography of interest and see who in your network has stayed there, and what they have to say about it. You can quickly jump to a friend’s map and see what’s brewing in their network. You can visit your Scuba group and see where they recommend staying on the Red Sea, or hop over to your Beaches group and see what they like in the Caribbean. All instantaneously.
This isn’t your grandfather’s Google maps mashup. It’s fun. It’s powerful. VibeAgent’s My Maps. Check it out. You’ll like it.
OK, we’re not the first kids on the block to come up with this idea. True dat.
