www.mapblast.com provides you with accurate interactive maps and driving directions, and information on services and products near to your travel route or address. There is information on local points of interest, traffic reports, and reservation capabilities.

Although this is a US-based website, there is a whole list of Countries to look through to find maps for. This is handy if you are going on holiday somwhere. There is a list of US airport cities. Just click on the Country required, and type in the city, state or zip code, and click on 'create map'. And the map will appear. You can print the map, save it, or email it to someone. There is also a section called 'Show these places on my map'. Scroll down the list of options, like hotels, food halls, gas stations etc, and it will come up with a list of stores in that town or area.

You can join mapblast, and save all your maps, addresses and trips for free. Mapblast is free to join. Just fill out the form supplied, giving a username, password, address and email address etc.

You can also find hotels and B & B's, travel discounts and buy business books etc.

It's an interesting website to visit, and extremely handy if you're going somewhere you've never been before, and want to get directions of the area. There are maps for virtually anywhere, and it's handy to print out a map before hand so you know where you are going! And, what's more, it's all free!!
