| There are 8 WALKS (currently) that make up the History/ArtWalk System in Fort Lauderdale. The system is a proposal and your comments are invited. |
Other points of interest (POI) These points of interest will be placed on a larger scale map. (A small-scale map shows less detail, but a larger land area. For instance, a USAnational map is a much smaller-scale map than a map showing the details of the City of Fort Lauderdale. Objects appear larger on a large-scale map.)
