Google Maps and Hostels

by Sean on September 12, 2005 |

We have been working on a bunch of new features and applications for BootsnAll recently, but I have been slammed and have not written about it…so here goes the 1st one:

Google Maps and Hostel in the USA. Google has an way for us to connect with their maps and customize them. We customized maps in the USA Hostels so that users can click on a map and see where the hostel is located on a map (See Arlington House in Chicago and click on the “map” link as an example) - and book/search for availability from that map.

I have seen a few people hacking google maps the past few months, we hope that this one is helpful to folks when looking to book in big cities. It’ll help you visually place where the heck that place is.

What is BootBlog?

BootBlog is the company blog of the BootsnAll Travel Network, a company that has been connecting travellers since 1998. Our goal is to inspire, educate and cultivate an organic community of independent travellers. But what does that mean? Well, we love to travel and we love to connect other travellers who have the desire to get out and see this great world of ours. BootBlog will showcase what is going on around the office, around the company and within our community of travellers.

Facebook Connect & BootsnAll
BootsnAll has always prided itself on being a little bit different. We're still the only travel website out there that manually reads each and every membership application that we get. It makes the membership that little bit more valuable and keeps the majority of spammers away. In order to post comments on BootsnAll travel articles and leave reviews about … [Read more]
