We've built an incredible system of Maps on Beyond, with multiple zoom layers from all of France to regions to areas, to detailed areas and down to very detailed maps. And with scores of "Special" maps of various interesting subjects. All of these maps have been lovingly and painfully hand-built with Adobe Illustrator.
Now, following a suggestion from Beyond reader George, we are evolving to a new style of map using modified inserts from Google maps. We have changed all the the current Town-Village maps to this new style, as in the this one from Moustiers-Sainte-Marie (http://www.provencebeyond.com/map/moustiers-ste-marie-area-map.html).
We still have a lot of work to do in adding maps for all of the Site pages and adding additional marker points for the Village area maps, but the change is happening now.
Please, unlimber your typing fingers and let us know what you think about the new maps.
Hello Elizabeth,
Thanks for the feedback. It was a techie-type in the link - seems to be working now.

I like it! The one link I tested from the Moustiers map to Aiguines also worked. Good luck with bringing them all up to the same standard. (However, your above link doesn't work -- needs a wee bit of editing to get rid of the circular self-link)
