3D Travel has launched two exciting new features on its 3D websites: Content on Demand and What's Nearby.

(TRAVPR.COM) U.S.A. - December 13th, 2011 - 3D Travel has launched two exciting new features on its Google Earth-based 3D websites: Content on Demand and What's Nearby.

Content on Demand allows users to explore locations without resorting to search. Drag the 3D landscape across the screen. Once you've stopped for a second, placemarks for locations within the 3D window will start to appear: Hiking trails, beaches, activities, popular towns, surf breaks, top resorts.The feature is controlled by the user: At the bottom of the search rail is an option to enable Content on Demand. Want fewer placemarks and do traditional search? Check it off. Want listings to appear with a drag-and-release of your mouse? Keep it checked on. It allows a more intuitive use of the 3D screen: Just place any part of the Hawaiian Islands in the viewer, and discover what's below.

What's Nearby is accessed from a tab on every location site bar (next to Photos and Videos). It launches a new window allowing users to search locations around the island that belong to our categories database (hiking trails, golf courses, surf breaks, etc.), or to free-text search the location of their choice, within range of the location they're visiting, in increments from a half-mile to 20 miles.Both features are live on 3DHawaii, 3DLasVegas and our Private Label websites, including Hilton Hawaiian Village, Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel and four others.
