With access to the World Wide Web and the use of Global Positioning System, why would
anyone use a visitor’s guide? You can get really in-depth information on the Internet
if you know what you are looking for. For example, if you wish to find out the history
of the Getty Center, there are hundreds of web sites that cover and will give you
different perspectives on this topic. You can also get really detailed route guidance
using GPS if you know the Getty Center is the place you want to go. But if you are
a visitor to Los Angeles, you have to first find out the places worth visiting in
Los Angeles, which ones appeal to your taste and how far they are from your place
of stay, then you need to figure out how each fits into your vacation budget and
time constraints before you can design your activity plan.
