Michelin Red Guide

### How the Guide works

With the aim of giving the maximum amount of information in a limited number of pages Michelin has adopted a system of symbols which is renowned the world over.

Failing this system the present publication would run to six volumes.

### The hotel & restaurant view

This view shows information about locations (hotels and restaurants). You can switch between the compact list and the fully detailed text by Clicking on the name of a location. You can get information about almost any word or symbol simply by clicking on it.

### Finding locations

Use the FIND option to find hotels and restaurants matching certain criteria. Note that this dialog remembers what you have entered - if necessary, you can use the RESET button in the dialog to clear any previous criteria.

### Finding nearby locations

If you checkmark the "near" box in the Find dialog, the Michelin Red Guide will find restaurants and hotels matching your criteria and show them in the order of proximity to that location. If you highlight a particular hotel or restaurant beforehand, the Find option will search for locations near that hotel or restaurant. If you highlight a city or district beforehand, the Find option will search for locations near that city or district. Use the "Find co-ordinates" option to find locations near any particular longitude and latitude (e.g. taken from a GPS device)

### Notes and ratings

You can add your own comments to places you have visited (or want to visit!) by selecting the place and selecting Note or Rating from the menu. You can also give your own ratings, (ie, comfort, welcome, etc) and say whether you are a regular visitor.

Any notes and ratings you give will also be shown as part of the place description.

You then have the ability to search for places where you have made a comment.
