Maps - Not Finding Your Place? Lures And Tours Dedicated Maps Offer Precision!

Maps - does your map show your correct location? Often businesses and event planners need to rely on public online maps to give clients directions, however these maps frequently have outdated or wrong information. Lures & Tours prides itself in posting your location correctly on dedicated maps utilizing GPS co-ordinates, and satellite imaging to pinpoint precise locations.

This year, Lures ad Tours is rolling out new dedicated maps co-ordinated with Google maps, which contain icons showing the kind of information anglers need and use.

 Recently, Barrie Fall Fishing Festival required a map showing the location of its event 'Headquarters', as well as locations of  FREE boat launching and Trailer parking for registered participants. Charlie Ross, Lures & Tours Graphic Design Director, added the locations to the Lures & Tours dedicated Ontario Fishing Tourism Map, then embedded the Barrie Fall Fishing Festival area map section within the Barrie Fall Fishing Festival Page on Lures & Tours,as shown in the screen shot below.
