Trends: Map It

By Jenny Acosta-Horta

Guatemalan company Where To Go Maps follows the philosophy "think globally, act locally." Its goal is to create a global online system of downloadable tourism maps that artistically feature the best hotels, restaurants, shops and attractions in each city, in addition to local advertisers. Maps are now available for Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala City, Panama City, Cayman Islands, Old San Juan (Puerto Rico), Madrid and Miami's South Beach. The company is seeking partners to create maps of cities around the world.

Many people choose a vacation destination to visit the filming locations of their favorite movies. For them (or any traveling film buff), Filmaps is a great tool. Users can search for films by location or name and obtain a Google map with photos or videos. Currently, its user-contributed database features maps of almost one thousand films in 2,363 locations—from Argentina to Vietnam, including Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Guatemala.
