Map feedback from visitor
'We spent 3 days in Inverness recently. I wanted to praise 'Visit Inverness Loch Ness ' for the FREE map.
It was easy to follow and greatly helped us navigate by foot and car around Inverness and to travel further. We also found the mileage/driving/walking indicator helpful. Thank you for the good design.'
