Caribbean Islands Google Maps mashups

If you're one of the thousands of North Americans or Europeans escaping the grips of winter in the northern hemisphere this year, the Caribbean Islands may well be your destination. The good folks over at IslandTips.com have tried to help your online research experience easier and more visual using the Google Maps API. They have created a series of map views and overlays for popular Caribbean Island destinations:

• Anguilla Map and Satellite
• Antigua and Barbuda Map and Satellite
• Aruba Map and Satellite
• Barbados Map and Satellite
• Bonaire Map and Satellite
• Grenada Map and Satellite
• Montserrat Map and Satellite
• Puerto Rico Map and Satellite

These maps will help you search for things to do on the island and perhaps will help prepare you to seek out day-tours from the operators once you arrive (There are even Flickr photo streams along the bottom!) For others that aren't actually traveling to these sunny destinations, these maps act as an interesting tour of these island countries.
