Brilliant help - thankyou John.

WendyA - if you look at the first heading in Calis Bar & Restuarant Q's and Discussion Section you will find the final booklet version of the information which is much more user friendly (I hope).

I am not sure what all these different maps are trying to show "new" people to Calis.I can understand resident of Calis would understand them but as they know where all these places are they dont need them.
I think new holiday makers would be very confused as nothing is explained.Sorry to sound critical but having 4 or 5 different views of different angles from the "viewing point" to different places in Calis would just confuse new comers to Calis.

I'd be extremely grateful if you would give me your opinion of the final booklet version before I respond to the above.

I had already seen the link Highlander and do appreciate the long hours and hard work that you have put into it. Very well done.
But my questions are still the same as to my previous post.
If you were going to Calis for the first time you would be confused by your map.I cannot see anywhere where it explains to a new comer, where exactly is the "viewing point". Yes I know you know but new visitors would not.So straight away you have lost them ! You have to establish exactly where you are as to the start of any tourist map or you are lost before you have starterd.New comers need a starting reference. No reference to bridge or water taxi which most people can associate with as far as I can see on your map/s.Ok I realise it is just about restaurants and pubs so other information is not considered needed.But as I have already said you have done a lot of hard work to get to the stage you are at with these maps so well done.

Thanks for replying doubletwo and for your kind words.

"New comers need a starting reference. No reference to bridge or water taxi which most people can associate with as far as I can see on your map/s

I agree that new comers to Calis would not know the viewing point, but please explain how they would know the bridge or water taxi

I deliberatley chose The Viewing Point is the "point of reference" for the three maps for the simple reason that the bars/restaurants along the front and up the main street "radiate" from that point.

I had assumed that new visitors would ask where the restaurants and bars were and would be directed to the prom. They would very soon come to the Viewing Point and would know where various establishments were located fronm that point.

I not sure I have seen a tourist map of London which explains to a new comer exactly where Piccadilly Circus is.

If the only criticism of the booklet is that there is no point of reference I think we might consider it useful.

And in fairness far more useful than anything you have produced to help visitors to Calis Beach doubletwo.
