Many people don't realize that the series of bridges from the mainland to Key West, are part of the planned Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail, a multi-use bicycle and pedestrian facility under design and construction by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. It follows the surface over which Henry Flagler's trains ran.

Florida Keys Voice Mail, Inc., a division of Blue Planet Offices, Inc. of Key West, FL will be offering talking self-guided tours of the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trial. These tours can be taken by mobile telephone or by downloading the tour to an iPod or other MP3 music player. There are a selection of tours to pick from designed for automobile travel, bicycle travel, boating or walking/hiking.

It is not necessary to take the entire tour. You can access the system to simply find out about a particular location be it historical, a tourism attraction, or you want to find out about a tempting restaurant. You can locate the nearest restaurants and other businesses. We can tell you what is coming up ahead of you for a wide range of services and goods, like food, gas and other things. Want to know the closet place to purchase a swimming suit or rent snorkel gear, we can tell you wherever you are located in the Florida Keys.

In addition, our Florida Keys Driving Guide is also available to tell you all about attractions along your route down US1. This guide also is available over a cellular telephone or can be downloaded in advance to any music player from our website.

Unlike directory assistance, you do not need to know the name of the business. You can pick things by mile marker, geographic location descriptions, or even by the coordinates of your GPS system. In the future we will be able to collect the GPS information from your mobile phone and you won't even have to tell us where you are. Then pick the category you desire and the options are presented. Every location has a brief description and you can press one key or speak a simple command and hear more detail about that location. Each category of information has specific criteria by which you can search for specific things in order to find the exact place you want.

We are not done yet. The entire guide system will be available not just in English. It will be available in English, Spanish, French and German. Other languages will be added after launch.

These features of Florida Keys Voice Mail, Inc. are under construction.
