Along with Mauritius, TomTom hopes to
send families to Seychelles, Fiji, St. Lucia, and Cape Verde. No prior mapping
experience is required, nor are those chosen expected to provide their own
vehicle or mapping apartment. All they need to do is sign up, get to Mauritius,
and enjoy two weeks of driving and sightseeing. TomTom is more than happy to
bear the cost because it's one of the best ways for them to accurately create
GPS maps.
"The very first step in creating
an accurate map is proper field work, and that is where the Map Paradise
Project comes in," TomTom's Corinne Vigreux said during an interview.
"This project will not only create five new navigable maps, it will also
give people a unique insight into how our maps are made. And where better to
start mapping, then on a beautiful paradise island."
The choice of Mauritius for a new GPS
map is a logical next step for TomTom, as it seeks to eventually map the entire
world. GPS maps are becoming an integral part of travel in today's digital age.
And with most of North America and Europe already mapped, companies like TomTom
are now turning their attentions to the world's most popular tourist
destinations. Mauritius is near the top of that list along with Indian Ocean
neighbour Seychelles.
Although driving around Mauritius for
two weeks is not necessarily every holiday travellers dream come true, it's an
awesome opportunity for others. Being able to see all the countryside, along
with local towns and villages, provides an opportunity to experience Mauritius
in a way that could never be experienced at a beach side resort. At the same
time, luxury resorts in Mauritius have plenty to offer themselves. The most
luxurious five-star resorts cater to every whim of the traveller to create an
unforgettable experience in a tropical paradise.
Whether or you attempt to be part of
the TomTom deal or you choose to visit Mauritius through your local tour
operator, you'll enjoy yourself to the extent that you'll want to go back again
and again. There's nothing quite like the glorious Mauritian sunsets, warm
tropical breezes, and mile after mile of gorgeous white sand beach. If you've
never been, you have to see it to believe it.
