Resort Maps Selects MapsAlive Technology to Make Online Maps Interactive
Waitsfield, VT (PRWEB) June 5, 2008 -- AvantLogic, developers of MapsAlive (http://www.mapsalive.com), the premier interactive map and floor plan application, today announced that Resort Maps (http://www.resortmaps.com), a leading advertising map publisher, has integrated MapsAlive technology into more than 170 online maps. MapsAlive turns Resort Maps' hand drawn maps into interactive tours that let visitors explore communities and locate attractions, lodging, restaurants, shopping and other services. MapsAlive interactive maps also provide increased advertising opportunities because business ads are displayed when a visitor moves their computer's mouse over an advertiser's label on the map.
"With MapsAlive, we were able to take the same maps that we print and quickly make them interactive at a very affordable price," said Peter Hans, President of Resort Maps. "We can create and maintain the online maps ourselves making it easy to add or update advertisers at any time. The resulting interactive maps give advertisers increased exposure on the web, and visitors a unique way to learn about travel destinations."
All of Resort Maps' online interactive maps use the new categorized directory feature (http://www.mapsalive.com/Public/FeaturesDirectory.aspx) in MapsAlive. This unique feature allows visitors to locate advertisers by searching or browsing the directory and "clicking" to go directly to the advertiser's location on the map. The interactive ads include links to each advertiser's own website so visitors can obtain more information.
The MapZoom feature lets visitors zoom in or out to view more or less detail. Visitors may also drag the map with their mouse to get to different areas on the map. And, the maps are seamlessly integrated with the Resort Maps website.
"Because MapsAlive requires no programming, Resort Maps is able to use their non-technical staff to create and maintain all of their maps," said George Soules, President of AvantLogic. "They never have to pay a web developer to do the work for them. With so many maps and advertisers, the annual cost savings from using MapsAlive is tremendous."

Within the city, the beaches are elegant and pristine, bordered by restaurants and resorts.
