TripAdvisor has launched a new mashup combining hotel popularity, price and availability with a dynamic mapping tool.

"The mashup of maps with TripAdvisor real traveler reviews, pricing and availability dramatically simplifies the travel planning process," said Christine Petersen, senior vice president of marketing for TripAdvisor.

"TripAdvisor and our 20 million passionate travelers changed the way people choose their hotel, and now the process is even easier, combining the power of customer opinions with the key ingredients: location, location, location," said Petersen.

At launch, TripAdvisor Maps covers U.S. hotels, and will add restaurants, attractions and international destinations in the coming months. Travelers will find links to the new maps throughout tripadvisor.com -- on each of hotel overview pages for 32,000 featured U.S. cities and towns, 17,000+ pages covering U.S. attractions, 135,000+ pages covering U.S. restaurant.

Mashup (web application hybrid) is a website or web application that
combines content from more than one source.
