Advantages: lots of free maps, free route planner
Disadvantages: route planner slow

...I first came across MultiMap.com through the use of Lycos. They must have some sort of partnetship with Lycos where the Lycos website used part of the MultiMap site and you were able to look at street maps on the Lycos website. Since then I have used this website whenever I want to find a place that I want to go. ~~The Services~~ The services that MultiMap.com offers, without sound too thick hopefully, are all to do with displaying maps for you. There are many different types of maps you can view, here is a short list of the major types of maps and services available for you to look at. ~ Street Maps and Travel Directions for the UK and Europe. ~ Detailed Maps of the Wolrd. ~ Aerial Photos of London and other UK Cities. ~ An Interactive London Tube Map. ~ Local Information to complement their UK and European Maps. ~ Links...

Advantages: Comprehensive coverage.
Disadvantages: Er! Let me think....

...extremely useful maps and guides for the U.K. traveller and they are to be found on sale all over the place. W.H Smith, motorway services and Tesco petrol stations are just a few of the places that you can get them. What`s the range of products available? Road Atlases and Maps for longer distances, Street Atlases and Maps for navigating around towns and cities and A-Z Guides of London are just a selection of the extensive selection of material that they produce. For those who don`t know, maps unfold to produce those flattish, crinkly things that never seem to fold up again correctly whilst atlases are maps in book form, sometimes with a spiral binder (a great innovation). ROAD MAPS Their most popular series are 13 maps covering the majority of Great Britain with the exception of the far north of Scotland (WHY?). These are all very... Read review

Advantages: A lot to see & do, has something to offer for everyone
Disadvantages: Too much to see and do, can be exhausting, expensive hotels

...was quite easy to use, we have previous training from cities like Paris and London :-). The only problem was that some trains are local trains and some are express trains and the last category doesn't stop at all the stations. But once we figured that out we didn't have any problems. The trains have air-con by the way but they stations can be pretty hot. The subway is only a part of the transportation network covered by Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). You will find a pretty good subway map on their homepage. If you don't buy a MetroCard I think that the fare is about 2 $. The subway felt like a pretty safe transportation method even late in the evening.. From time to time we met people who were trying to make a living by performing (dancing, singing, playing an instrument) in the subway system. We saw all kinds of people... Read review

Disadvantages: Noisy

...of the downtown area, all of the city's streets are laid out in a grid pattern; avenues run north-south, streets run east-west. If you ever get lost, find he nearest street intersection and read the avenue and the streets as you would a grid reference on a map. In 1609 Hendrik Hudson arrived at Manhattan before sailing up the river that now bears his name. Although this river did not turn out to be the Northwest Passage that he had been commissioned to discover, he did establish the Dutch colony, New Amsterdam, which would slowly evolve into New York City. In 1626 the Dutch bought the entire of Manhattan Island from some native Indians for what would now be about $25. It was fortified over the next century, with a large wall running it's course along present day Wall Street. By 1790 its population had reached 30,000. Trade was opened to the Midwest... Read review

Advantages: Helps guide you around other countries. Easy to install
Disadvantages: None as yet

...TomTom Map of the USA and Canada Maps TomTom Maps are a 2gb SD card with route maps stored on them that are made to work with the TomTom satellite navigation system. They originally come with UK/Europe maps so these are a brilliant upgrade if you are considering taking your car abroad or hiring a car and driving over there. These are a lot easier than using a standard map when you are visiting another country and make getting around easy. We have just bought one of these as we are planning a trip to the USA and decided one of these would be useful. I have never been abroad so certainly wont know my way around. It was very easy to install onto the TomTom. We also decided the points of interest feature would be really useful as we use the UK based one on our current maps a lot. It has lots of features that include... Read review

Advantages: WARNING- LONG REVIEW. Loads to see and do for adults and kids.
Disadvantages: WARNING LONG REVIEW. Poor disabled facilites and cafe.

...My other half has been on holiday this week, combine that with our 4th anniversary, Mothers day and an in-service day at my sons school it was the perfect opportunity for some good old family fun, among the day trips we took was a visit to Bristol City Museum & Art Gallery. It's a great attraction for us living in Bristol and with free entry it's perfect for our ever expanding family as it doesn't break the bank. Getting to the museum is simple enough for us, as we're local, but the parking is a real problem, being situated in the middle of busy Queens Road, at the top of Park Street, in Clifton, it is near impossible to find a space nearby and we always park in the Frogmore street NCP and walk the 5 minute trip up the road, past the university buildings and into the museum. Bristol City Museum & Art gallery is set in a beautiful baroque... Read review

Advantages: Excellent gameplay, varied and difficult missions, superb soundtrack.
Disadvantages: Depraved, bloodthirsty and anti-social (if you're not into that sort of thing).

..., slides into a cardboard sleeve. The words “Grand Theft Auto Vice City” are embossed on the front, with the words “Vice City” edged in pink sparkly foil. Wonderfully kitsch, and a bit special. I’m a bit worried for the longevity of the cardboard, but it’s unlikely to need to be pulled about much as the CD is currently in long term parking in my CD-ROM. All the bits & pieces; poster/map (which you don’t really need to consult as there’s one if you go to the menu screen), “tourist guide” (which tells you a few bits and bobs about the game and lists the credits) and sticker (for sticking to things, I assume – right next to your “Guns Don’t Kill People; Death Kills People” bumper sticker perhaps) fit into pockets in the sides of the fold-out. The two disks; one... Read review

Advantages: It has so many wonderful sites and sounds.
Disadvantages: Traffic

...of Natural History on the west side of the park. There are many in the Central Park area. Not too far from the Natural History Museum is Lincoln Center. They have great Opera, Theater, and Orchestra Music there. I have been to all three of the major buildings. They are incredibly beautiful. Lincoln Center is a class place that we like to go to. This is all close to the huge hotels like the Plaza and Pierre. You can get Horse and Carriage rides from across the street of the Plaza. Getting around the city is pretty easy in that most of it, except for lower mManhattan is in a grid stating from first street going up and firts Ave to Tenth and Eleventh Ave with a few other in between like Broadway. Get a map and keep it in your pocket. Having grown up in the city I get around easily but with a map you can do the same. I suggest using... Read review

Advantages: a fantastic game
Disadvantages: needs a super computer to run.

...packages hidden around the map. Secondly you could complete all the rampages which are icons hidden around the map and when you walk into them you have to do certain things in a certain amount of time. For example kill 30 gang members in 50 seconds. Next there is the unique jumps which is where you go up selected ramps and make a jump. All of the above are recorded in your stats on the pause menu of Vice City. Lastly is just having fun on the game killing people and causing mayhem in the game with a tank or killing people on the beach with the blade of a helicopter. One of the most important aspects of the game is your wanted stars meter which goes from one to six. When you kill/run over one person you will get 1 star and the policeman/car who saw you is the only person who will follow you. If you kill a policeman or more civilians you... Read review
