To.uri.
st is an ongoing project that consists of an integrated Google Map and the ability for users to place way points they feel would be of interest to tourists on the map along with a description of them. Tourists simply enter the city they’d like to visit in the search bar provided and the will be taken to an overhead map view complete with all annotations that have been made to that area of the world. By registering, users can also favorite places they’d like to visit and add them to their itinerary which will be saved for viewing the next time they enter the site. Think of To.uri.

Some questions about To.uri.st
What can they do to speed up the process and bring on more areas of the world? Currently for example, Latin America is not accounted for. Could they run some sort of a contest to get the ball rolling a bit faster?
