New feature added!! Valencia Hotels

Since the America's Cup related sailing activity has significantly slowed down, I took the opportunity to develop and add some new features in Valencia Sailing, hoping to make things easier for all fans that will visit the world's sailing capital - that is Valencia - during the next 2 years. These features have been added on the right-hand column, in the "Valencia Guides" section.

Thanks to the newly-available technology from Google it is now possible to use the extremely precise and versatile Google satellite photos and maps through your browser without the need for any special program. When you click on one of the guides a new window will open. The first guide covers the city's hotel, giving you the ability to view the exact location of each one as well as book a room, directly from your browswer.

Each red icon represents a hotel and when you click on it you'll see some info about it and a direct link to the reservation page for that particular hotel. Alternatively, if you already know the hotel you want, by clicking on its name in the hotel list, the map will position itself there and open the info window. As a result, it is possible to browse all of the city's 30 most important hotels both geographically and alphabetically and make a reservation with a few clicks.

You can drag the map with your mouse and move it around or zoom in and out with the slider. Remember, each icon points to the exact building of the hotel.

To my knowledge, no other major sports event has ever had such a user-friendly tool. It will be constantly upgraded, adding other categories such as beaches, marinas and yacht clubs, golf courses, etc.
