Tip: Use The Cartographer for Errands Such as the Thanksgiving Shopping

Remembering every errand, every grocery item to be bought and where to buy it can be a challenge at the best of times, let alone when you’re organising a big event like Thanksgiving dinner.

The Cartographer isn’t only handy for travellers. Plot your errands — like your Thanksgiving grocery shopping — using Google My Maps:

Then sync with The Cartographer on your iPhone:

Have all your notes — things to buy at each shop, opening hours or phone numbers — on your iPhone:

Get everything done more efficiently by deciding which errand to run next based on proximity with a quick glance of the map!

Harry Potter Self-Guided Sightseeing Map of the UK

It’s that heady time again, folks – when those of us who wish there was a tad more magic in the world froth with excited happiness at the release of a new Harry Potter movie. If you’re headed to Old Blighty and are rather fond of a certain wizardly young man with an unruly mop of black hair, then you should seriously consider a spot of Harry Potter sightseeing. The movies were filmed in some truly beautiful places, from achingly pretty Scottish lochs and mountainscapes to exquisitely elaborate Gothic cathedrals, abbeys and cloisters.

I’ve taken the liberty of plotting some of the sites where the movies were filmed on Google Maps, with notes on each.
