WILLEMSTAD - Curaçao has its own digital map that allows tourists to discover the island. Yesterday the iMap was launched by SHOWME Caribbean during a presentation at the Avila Beach Hotel.
The interactive map works just like Google Maps and offers a number of categories of pins that indicate where they are on the map. After clicking the pin, a field with photo and information opens. Unique are the many 360 panorama photos that show the beauty of Curaçao. Due to the collaboration with Caribbean-tours and Booking.com, it is also possible to book activities or make reservations via the card.
It is also possible to use the iMap on the mobile phone. The GPS function provides location determination and soon the map will be expanded with a navigation tool. By scanning a QR code, the card appears on a mobile phone.
SHOWME Caribbean has developed the program to build the interactive maps itself. The company has now made an interactive map for Pietermaai and is working on an iMap for the center of Philipsburg in Sint Maarten. SHOWME Caribbean is making a trip outside the Caribbean for the Dutch island of Texel. Curaçao is the first island with a fully interactive map.
