I love it when life gets easier. Putting a map on a website used to be a real pain, so did using one. Now, with so many free mapping services available it has become extremely easy to give directions to business locations and venues.

Armada House in Bristol is doing a nice job. For an events and conference centre in the heart of a busy city, clear location and transport details are vitally important.

Armada House uses an embedded Google Map with markers for their location and for the locations of nearby car parks.

To help with journey planning Armada provide a direct link to Google Maps. This means that customers and conference attendees are able to get detailed personalized travel directions and can also save the location to their own Google Map for easy reference in the future.

Building a feature rich interactive map has become even easier since the introduction of Google’s My Maps feature.

Any business that showcases products, holds meetings or offers services tied to physical locations needs to consider using on-line mapping services as a convenience to its customers and its staff.
