An Adventure..."Mapping"


Golfing is always an 'adventure for me', thus the picture of a beautiful Golf Course in Bend, Ore.
After spending way too much time 'digging around' with Web 2.0 Awards and Webware, I finally decided I liked the organization and list in the Web 2.0 site. There were just too many services that were suggested, making my decision almost mind boggling. Having dealt with a number of Patrons requesting mapping directions, I found Wayfaring http://www.wayfaring.com/ interesting and possibly a helpful tool for some of our KCLS patrons. After a learning curve, I found their service easy to use, making the finished map very professional.

In addition to standard route mapping, Wafaring offers additional 'bells an whistles' such as mapping one's life, or building a travelogue. It's fun to use and can cause one to spend way too much time just playing around!
