Locator map

Location maps achieve this purpose by highlighting more in-depth geography within the context the student is familiar with.

These locators often feature a movable box that assists the user with navigating the main map.

This generates a map showing places within a specified radius of that point that meet the user's criteria.

Banks, hotels, retail chains, and restaurants are common users of this type of service.

This sophistication allows a variety of customized locator maps to be produced in a relatively short period of time.
