Seattle Walking Tour

https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=215709825401987679793.0004e82b11d4ef3027929&msa=0&ll=47.614423,-122.34493&spn=0.014422,0.033023

Here is the URL to my walking map of Seattle. It was very interesting using My Maps to create a tour. I had some troubles with the place markers because I would click the icon and it would just place the icon in random spots and I couldn't identify the specific place on the map. Someone that isn't familiar with GIS or mapping systems may have some trouble but for the most part it is easy to understand and navigate.

Overall the system is pretty straight forward and most of the important features within the map is labeled for you which can help you or someone else follow the map very effortlessly. You can view your map via satellite imagery as well to make sure your route is accurate. Although, some things can give you some fits but with some practice the system will be quite easy to use.
