ABSTRACT:
A travel planner including a transparent or translucent Combined Region/Topical Map that allows the user to plan a route directly on the map. The size of the region can range from a city or a portion thereof to a country or continent. Two or more Combined Region/Topical Maps can be overlaid such that the regional information is registered, whereby the user can plan a trip as may be desired to visit more than one type of point of interest (e.g., a castle and an historic village). This travel planner easily enables the traveler to create an itinerary based on personal interests by overlaying Combined Region/Topical Maps depicting desired interest types, each Combined Region/Topical Map depicting specific sites and locations of interest. In addition to such tourist information as the location of castles, museums, or camping locations, such Combined Region/Topical Maps can include such information as the locations of hotels, car rental companies, or pavilions for major events.
