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.
