TransCanadaHighway.com Announces New Features for online travel itineraries

FoundLocally/com Media Inc, publishers of the popular http://TransCanadaHighway.com
website, Has announced a number of new features in its online itineraries for the
"longest national highway in the world," running 7,821 km (4,860 mi.) from end to
end.

The site has posted details on over 3500 points of interest along the highway.
Itineraries include helpful overview information to help with planning and enjoying
your trip. Unlike other travel sites focused on just the cities, this site
integrates history & First Nations, geology & geography, flora & fauna information
on http://TransCanadaHighway.com (no "www" needed!). Now you can be the Travel
Trivia champion your next Canadian vacation!
The Trans-Canada is broken into forty handy 150-250 kilometre segments, between
major communities with gas, services, and accommodation .Travelers can plan their
routes by combining 2-4 segments per day of travel, depending on sightseeing, breaks
with children, road conditions, or changing daylight hours.
We have added additional useful features to our
http://transcanadahighway.com/general/itinerary.htm:
1. Overview info with key geographical, geological and natural features.
2. Zoomable GoogleT map, with satellite image, to get an environmental perspective.
3. An elevation chart so you can see the hilliness of the terrain, handy for bicycle
trips
4. Each itinerary point has a pop-up close-up GoogleT map for trip planning.
Segments are nicely "daisy chained" from one to the next, for virtual trip planning.
The site includes major "branch" points like between Hope and Kamloops BC, talking
the Toronto detour, visiting PEI, or taking one of two ferries from North Sydney to
Newfoundland.
