Online Interactive Maps
Customize, then monetize
TGI has developed a robust, fully functional online interactive mapping program. Our online mapping program is easier — and economical — to customize for commercial uses than any of the major players in the customized online mapping arena.
We do not pretend that our customizable online mapping program replaces any GPS-based online mapping program. Instead, we have built our online mapping platform to work with MapQuest and the other big names.

Our maps are friendlier and still functional
Travelers enjoy the functional and easy-to-use style of our maps, which present a destination in three-dimensional illustrations, and focus primarily on those streets, landmarks, and destinations that are most important to visitors. Our online mapping programs use our print maps as the starting point of any customized online interactive map.
Customization is easier — and more affordable
Customizing a Google Map for commercial use is forbiddingly complex. A business owner might read for a few minutes about APIs, SDKs, and usage credits, and become overwhelmed and discouraged. By comparison, TGI’s online map engine is beautifully straightforward. Licensed users select which listings to display from a long index of points of interest, lodging options, shopping locales, and more. Adding additional locations that are not already on the index is a 4-click process.
Our online maps can directly generate revenue
Our map engine is built to make it easy for licensed users to sell and display advertising — both on the online map and on any versions that users print to take with them. Licensees can embed ads from chosen sponsors with the online maps and select specific ads to print when an end user prints a customized version of the map to carry around.

We absolutely love the maps! Most importantly, so do our guests! Every time I open the map they are intrigued by how well designed it is. These maps really do help the guests get a visual on where they are and what's around them. We are truly blessed to have met you all, and what you have done for the hotel.
