Basically, the map provides visitors with a unique local or toll-free phone number they can call at the various landmarks noted on the map. The phone call will access a pre-recorded message talking about the site they're viewing with as little or as much detail as you want. Each site could have its own extension in the phone so you could even track which sites get the most traffic. Check out www.tourmate.com for more information (they're just one of a number of companies that do this sort of thing).Philosofikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16037496370502947370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4397174111017496028.post-22760663542998582782008-05-13T09:10:00.000-04:002008-05-13T09:10:00.000-04:00I think you're onto a great idea there. Last summer I finally visited the museum and Roanoke area and even though I was there for only a short time, it was obvious there was alot of see but I didn't know where most of it was. Obviously you couldn't walk on NS property but there has to be sights available from public land, but a 'railroad sights' map or tour or something similar of the surrounding area would be a great resource.Emmo213http://openid.aol.com/Emmo213noreply@blogger.com
