In order to facilitate your viewing of this site, we have employed several icons throughout the pages. Here's a list of them.
On all city pages with information on them, there is on the top right next to the last updated date, a Print Icon. Click on this icon, and a new page opens, without ads, borders or buttons. You can then print this page "as-is" on your printer.
Maps
All maps are generated using Google Maps. It may take a bit longer to load, but you can zoom in and out of the maps, and even drag your mouse cursor over a map to pan in any direction.
You can also click on Satellite or Hybrid (Satellite and map together).
Earth Google
This site now uses Earth Google to map locations. In order for you to see cities and landmarks, you need to have Earth Google. Click on the icon to go to Google and download it for FREE !
After downloading and installing it, when you see this icon anywhere on this site, click on the icon, select Open in the dialogue box that opens, and then Earth Google will show you on a satellite map where this place is.
City Rating
We have rated all cities/towns with a 5 star rating system. One * is bad, 5 ***** are excellent! Obviously these are our personal opinions.
