Darren Barefoot from Geekytraveller.com wrote an article about Schmap. He said that ” The map functionality and controls are well-designed, and very intuitive to use. I like that you can easily measure distances, print and email maps, and overlay various businesses and landmarks from any view.”
Darren als0 said that “presumably, the Schmap folks’ longterm goal is to get the player off the desktop and on to some mobile devices. That’s when it would prove really useful. Still, it’s innovation in a space–travel guidebooks–that’s felt pretty static in recent years. “
