Almost all schools and colleges worldwide organize educational tours for their students to increase their exposure and help them gain practical experience. However, organizing a tour for students can be a time consuming process as it involves a lot of coordination with different agencies. Specialized student travel agencies like Hemisphere educational travel take care of all the arrangements necessary to make an educational tour a success.

Hemisphere educational travel has been organizing student tours for more than thirty five years. In addition to educational travel within the United States, they also organize international tours to other North American countries like Mexico, Canada and European countries like England, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland. They also organise visits to Broadway and customised tours for specific student needs.

The safety and security of the students is given top priority by Hemisphere educational travel while making travel arrangements. For all overnight tours, transportation, meals, hotel bookings, admission fees and taxes are handled by them. Travel insurance coverage for emergencies and 20 minute prepaid phone cards are also provided so that students can remain in touch with their family members. Tour participants can directly send money to Hemisphere educational travel to reduce the responsibility of the tour leader.

If you know your destination in advance, you can use the various mapping services with the help of search engines .  Print out directions from the starting  point to the destination, step by step, and also print out the associated map.
One of the most popular mapping services is Google Maps
http://maps.google.com/

The main problem with using online maps and with other computerized solutions is these systems are calculating distances from maps. They are not aware of one-way streets, no left turns, roads that are under construction, etc. so you have to be able to understand where to go when the map tells you to make an illegal or impossible turn.

For getting cheap maps you can join an auto club. If you have a gasoline credit card, that chain probably has some kind of travel club. The premier association for auto owners in the USA is the American Automobile Association.
The website of American Automobile Association is http://www.aaa.com/

You only pay one annual fee and get a number of services at little or no additional fees. One of them is the map service in advance of a trip. They know where there is road construction going on. They also know where a traveler can get the best gas prices. If you have pets, children, elderly in wheelchair traveling with you, they know their needs and where they can be best served. They know the fastest route between 2 places, the most scenic route. You tell them your needs, and they provide you the information at no cost, other than the annual membership. If you run into trouble on your journey and need roadside assistance, the American Automobile Association can help.

If you are thrifty, you can get travel maps for free.

• The information center of state or city will provide a free map. These are usually located at the border of the state
• Go to the state tourism website and sign up for an information package about the state. They will send the brochures and maps by mail, which may take a few weeks

Alternately you can purchase an atlas, second hand atlases cost less than $10

Maps are a projection on a 2 dimensional flat surface of a 3 dimensional sphere, the earth . At best they are an approximation to help understand the relative positions of the various continents and oceans. There are always some distortions of conformality, distance, direction, scale, and area during this process. While it may be possible to minimize distortions in the projections for some of the properties,  the errors in other properties may be increased. Other map projections will try to minimize distortion of all of these properties to an equal extent.

Conformality
A projection is considered to be conformal,if the scale of a map at any point on the map is uniform in any direction . Meridians (lines of longitude) and parallels (lines of latitude) intersect at right angles on these maps. Shape is preserved on conformal maps locally .

Scale
Scale of a map is the ratio of the distance portrayed on a map and the same distance on the Earth.

Area
When the areas on a map over the entire map are shown so that all mapped areas have the same proportional relationship to the actual area on the surface of the Earth that they represent, the map is an equal-area map.
Different map projections can show different spatial relationships between regions, as hilly  regions may not be correctly drawn.

The different types of maps are:

Climate maps
give general information about the climate and precipitation (rain and snow) of a region. Cartographers, or mapmakers, use colors to show different climate or precipitation zones.

Economic or resource maps
feature the type of natural resources or economic activity that dominates an area. Cartographers use symbols to show the locations of natural resources or economic activities. For example, oranges on a map of Florida tell you that oranges are grown there.

Political maps
do not show physical features. Instead, they indicate state and national boundaries and capital and major cities. A capital city is usually marked with a star within a circle.

Road maps
show major—some minor highways—and roads, airports, railroad tracks, cities and other points of interest in an area. People use road maps to plan trips and for driving directions.

Topographic maps
include contour lines to show the shape and elevation of an area. Lines that are close together indicate steep terrain, and lines that are far apart indicate flat terrain.
