wishing4wind Posted April 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Hi all, I created a map of Bonaire for my guests and I shared it with this group and got terrific comments. The problem with my map was that it included things like dive sites and grocery stores, so I created a filtered map with points of interest that are appropriate for cruisers. I also added the police department location. I'd like feedback from this group, what would you like to see added? Adding something is as easy as adding a row in an excel spreadsheet, so feel free to comment. I have churches on my main map for my guests, but I didn't include them for the cruisers. Do cruisers want to know where the churches are? Thanks for your help! ~Jeyna https://fusiontables.google.com/embedviz?q=select+col2+from+1pOKNHAMGZmM1kiEKX1B_VUqm3p62fYUP5fYakJ8v+where+col6+%3D+'Y'&viz=MAP&h=false&lat=12.165814525761649&lng=-68.26775352343753&t=1&z=13&l=col2&y=7&tmplt=8&hml=ONE_COL_LAT_LNG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockinnrobyn Posted April 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I would add the Bonaire Arts and Crafts Cruise Market in Wilhelmina Park. The Brewery on Kaya Grande. TCB (Tourism Office) for free wifi and information. You might also want to add bathrooms at the N. West corner of Wilhelmina Park. Those are my suggestions of useful sites/places. Thank you for doing it - this is a great resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvscruising2007 Posted May 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Also, could you show the cruise port. I couldn't really tell where it was but I could have missed it. Thank you for sharing the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyS Posted July 24, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I'd love the grocery stores added back! That's where I often head first to get local foods to bring home. (And the best deals on local spirits too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And the best deals on local spirits too!) The absolute best spirit for rum lovers is Rom Rincon. You can get it in town or at the local stores, prices should be the same everywhere. Also, don’t forget some of our local sea salt for your table. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently mentioned them here as well. Absolutely the best Carolina pulled pork in the Caribbean. . . Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishing4wind Posted September 5, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Thanks for the suggestion, JB's BBQ has been added. It's right down the street from where I live and I can't wait to try it! I heard great things from locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchclogs Posted September 7, 2018 #13 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Perhaps you could add The Salt Shop? Really good place to get an authentic souvenir. I some how missed this when walking from cruise terminal and had a little difficulty finding someone to point me in the right direction! Also the Post Office although this is less easy to miss?

njgirl Posted September 7, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Will put this to good use in a few weeks when visiting Bonaire. Would be very helpful if you can add places to stop were we can enjoy the beach. We will be renting a golf cart for the day. Thanks for all your work on this. Much appreciated. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishing4wind Posted September 7, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I added the salt shop and the Bonaire cruisers as well. I believe you can download the map to your phone so you can navigate without wifi when you get here. I'm looking into that. I also have an app but it only works on androids and you need wifi to navigate with the map. But all of your help to let me know what's most useful to include it so great! Thank you so much!

The Fun Researcher Posted September 13, 2018 #16 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Thanks, I put a lot of thought into it and I'm glad it's a help! I actually have a new and better version, check this one out http://tropicofdestiny.com/cruiseI appreciate your kind comments Love this, especially because it provides good information for each of the markers. Thank you so much! Any luck on finding an interactive map that can be downloaded and viewed while on the island without wifi? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishing4wind Posted October 24, 2018 Author #20 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Thanks for all the positive feedback! Dan, I did find that you can download google maps through the googlemaps app, but not custom google maps. I hope they allow that in the future. The alternative is to create an app (I have one, but it uses the older map and not the new one) so I have to update it. The app uses wifi to access the map, and I need to change the app to download the map so it will work without wifi. I wish I had more time to dedicate to the project, but I think it's pretty good so far. Thanks so much, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
