(PRWEB) Location and Price, it’s that simple. In the ultra-competitive online travel industry it’s hard to believe that the established contenders don’t have better maps. Not a single major hotel travel site shows prices directly on a map. HotelMapSearch.com fills this void with its patent pending price icons and hotel reservation interface.

Startup Technology Surpasses Existing Travel Sites
The Hotel Price Map concept was born out of a frustrating travel planning experience for co-founder Lynwood Bishop. ”I spent hours trying to find hotels near the Trevi Fountain when planning my honeymoon to Italy. Not being able to see it all visually on a map made the hotel reservation process much more difficult than it needed to be.” After the trip, he & college friend Glenn Kirbo partnered to create HotelMapSearch.com, giving travelers a map with all of the information they need to plan a trip quickly.

“Most travel sites only show you a few hotel locations at a time on a tiny map. We wanted to show them all,” explains co-founder Glenn Kirbo. ”The existing one-size-fits-all databases were too slow to keep up with our map, so we developed our own scalable solution. Visitors to HotelMapSearch.com can zoom all around the world and the map never stops updating.” The different technologies behind HotelMapSearch.com are now patent pending.
