According to the Mole, Letsgo2 has introduced the Holiday Mapper, to help travelers plan their destination in advance. With the help of the interactive map, travelers can explore their destination in advance, hence saving them time and reduces the "guesswork of the holiday planning process."
An interactive map shows the location of hotels and their proximity to selected preferences such as beaches, attractions, golf courses, restaurants, nightclubs, shops, towns and excursions as well as information and images on each.
The system is designed to be used to pinpoint hotel locations and identify the ones that suit specific preferences such as family friendly, adult only, offering spas or sports facilities, weddings or honeymoons. The hotel icon changes colour to reflect how well each property compares against chosen preferences.
This service is not yet available to all featured destination of Letsgo2. But if you're heading to Antigua, Barbados, Cuba, Grenada, Jamaica, St. Kitts & Nevis, Sta. Lucia and Tobago, you can already use the Holiday Mapper to track your destination.

Quite a nice and useful feature, but certainly not unique. In fact, I prefer using trivago as they also provide much of the same functionality and have the added bonus of comprehensive ratings, photographs from real visitors (no glossy, gimmicky pics) and realtime price comparisons from a number of quality booking agents.
