Free Websites Povo is unique in that every shop, museum, park, street, neighborhood, bar, group, restaurant, non-profit can have a free listing with any type of information you'd like: description, hours, credit cards, pictures, videos, links to nearby places of interest...it's a free website really.

Comprehensive and Geographically Aware Many sites do a good job with one thing, say restaurants. Some maybe with bars. Some with Tourist stuff. I don't know about you...but that's not how the real world works. If we go 'there' we need to park, get a bite to eat, go to the park/museum/whatever, maybe grab a drink afterward. With Povo, you can do all that. More here... 5. Heat Maps This is simply an amazing way to visualize information. More here...
