EveryScape really does give you just about every ’scape!

by Sherry on August 20th, 2008

It’s nothing new to find a nice integrated map online that allows you to see photos of your destination - street views, landmarks, ocean views, the like. However, EveryScape goes just a little further. In fact it takes you inside too.

Not only can you get your basic destination photo views alongside your map to do some sightseeing before you even arrive (which is a great way to figure out what you really want to do and visit if you’re crunched for time), you can get right inside some of the buildings. The site will help you find hotels, restaurants, and hot spots in your upcoming destination.

How cool would that be, to peek inside a bar or restaurant and see if it fits what you’re looking for without having to even walk in the front door? If you’re wandering around your destination anyway, it’s no big deal to pop in to a club or whatnot, only to change your mind, but if you’re going to have to drive out of your way to get somewhere, seeing what it looks like first might be the final deciding factor (not to mention the reviews that are provided as well). After all, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

The site is currently growing, with photographers working hard on providing pictures of major areas of interest in common destination cities so if your city of choice isn’t very full yet, do check back.
