Thank god for the internet now we can do so much that was probably not possible a few years ago. Internet has simplified our life in ways that are beyond measure. One of the most interesting and helpful offering is that of digital maps. You could be roaming anywhere in the world and not get lost because you have a digital map on the phone to guide you at every single destination.

Unfortunately a regular map will have certain limitations of its own. Internet provides standard search results and not something that is very unique or customized. For example, what if you are looking for a place where you could get free samples of ice-cream within your vicinity? Now this is not something that is a standard search query and hence you may fail to find anything relevant to that. However, now there are websites that offer unique, customized, community-created maps that are really interesting and helpful.

Instead of doing a regular search on the internet; go on to a community map and you are sure to stumble down to really helpful results. The map will lead you right to the destination where you can get free ice-cream samples. Anyone and everyone is free to create maps of their own. If you live in NY you can create a customized map of the best New York city attractions. There are no limits to the kind of unique results you can find on one such application. Feel free to create a product of your own; something that goes in turf with your own personal interests and the kind of things you like to do in your favorite city.

New York for example is known for being portrayed as a romantic city on television. It has always had a great influence on the Hollywood which explains why shows like Sex and the City and Gossip Girl have been filmed here. Let's not forget the classic hit Breakfast at Tiffany's that was also set in New York. Now someone who happens to be a fan of such shows or movies might feel curious to see the exact locations where they were filmed.

If you go on to a map of New York city attractions and search for the street where Carrie Bradshaw had her apartment, you will definitely be able to find it on a customized map. You could even look for all the places all at once where SATC was filmed. One may not find relevant results for this query on a regular map. But when the map is customized and created by likeminded users; anything is possible.
