The Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) recently partnered with Navteq and implemented enhanced mapping features on its Web site, www.homeofgolf.com.

As more and more consumers use the Internet for planning trips and finding amenities once they arrive at their destination, the new features help them discover the area more easily and with more detail.

The new mapping features include listings of meeting facilities and restaurants in addition to existing listings for accommodations and golf courses. The MapIt link supports one click to zoom in on a property or attraction automatically.

And because the area has so many golf courses located in a concentrated area, the new tool is a handy resource for golfers who like a more visual view of their golf trip itinerary.

"The new map features make it easier for users to find exactly what they want in a user-friendly fashion," said CVB President Caleb Miles. "Karin Toomey from the CVB staff did a terrific job on this project, and we think everyone who uses it will find it very useful."
