 * Example of a Micromap system**:

 * Analysis**

The Micromaps is a product site that ables you to interact through a map, __//your own mapsystem that you create//__. One can manage their own online interactive map. One is able to click on a certain area of the map to receive information in a text formation of the certain area of interest. For example, The Fairmont Southampton Golf Course, (//example above//) where when one clicks on the highlighted area of the map a small window opens giving an image and information of the golf course and resort, such as it's history and regulations. It tells you the geographical locations, specialized locations, complexes, desinations and corporate uses. This is an idea that the Kensignton Market group could follow with in the idea of an illustrative concept of the market or can create the maping idea of the Kensington area (walkways, residence and or complexes) with the use of the Micromaps product site.


 * Ideas based on Mircomaps for the Kensington Market group:**

//Attraction Interactive Map// An Interactive Map of a Tourist Attraction displaying locations and related information for Rides, Shows, Shops and other facilities

//Destination Interactive Map// An Interactive Map of a geographical location depicting points of interest and associated information for each. Everything from a global map right down to a small town, the possibilities on a geo map are only subject to the imagination.
