Map This!

We've added a useful feature to many of the 4,000 inns on BBOnline - 'Click To See A Map.' Try it out: click the USA icon on the BBOnline home page, then click any state from the US map. On the state page, click any of the inns pictured under 'Today's Featured B&Bs' and last the 'Click To See A Map' link in the inn's horizontal bar. Presto! A pop-up map pinpoints the location of the inn. You can zoom the map from regional to street level; you also get complete address and contact information for the inn, plus a convenient click-to-print shortcut. Now it's easier than ever to plan the route from home to the inn of your choice.
