Oh man, I'm lost again!

I am possibly the worst navigator known to man! At one point for my old job I was constantly traveling and putting close to 5,000 miles on my car a month. Each day I had a new destination. Although, they purchased map software for us to give us. That included turn by turn directions --- it didn't matter. I'd always end up at the local convienant store asking for directions.

Now there's a new option for mapping services for business. Locationmaps.com offers some great and helpful maps. They offer acrylic panels, floor plans, exterior sign boards, and pocket maps.

I like the layout of the website. It seems to be easy to follow and also easy to find what your're looking for. The website is simple but doesn't look boring or detached.

One thing that I can appreciate is that they offer a free, online, mapping tool to their users. It's so easy to find mapping software online -- but the good ones charge an arm and a leg. It's nice to know that a company that specializes in maps can offer their product as a courtesy to interested parties free of charge.

It might be helpful to put some of the contact informaton on the front page such as an email contact form, or even a phone number. When I was looking for that to see the location of the business it seemed a little hard to track down. (I found it under contact on the top tab)

I realized that there is no advertising and while I don't typically like advertising on websites I realize it's helpful in building revenue to a website. Thank you for not putting advertising on the website!!! I think it detracts from the website as a whole.

All in all ... I think the website peaks interest and is easy for the average joe to navigate through, purchase items, and get all of the information they might need on maps!
