Jump to first occurrence of: [SCHMAP]  If there’s one thing we dearly love, it’s cool software that’s free. Such is the case with Schmap, a map program with dozens of interactive guides to U.S. and European destinations. For every city or locale, there are multiple, multilayered maps. With a click of the mouse, you tell Schmap to overlay the various layers (showing all the items in the categories you select) to the base map. Roll your mouse pointer over an item’s icon and a review, address, phone number, and link to driving directions appears in the right pane. Click a listing and Schmap zooms in to show you the location in detail. In the left pane, the Directory lets you browse categories and items that you can also choose to display on the map. In the top-left corner, the City Navigator tracks where in the city you are browsing. You can also bookmark or search for favorites, view and Schmap top picks, see reviews and tours, print maps and itineraries, and more. Schmap is the brainchild of a software engineer, who is building these guides with the help of a staff and an array of content partners, so it’s not always Rand McNally perfect. But this product is incredibly cool.
