I am a big fan of google maps . I use it almost everyday for some reason or the other . It really helps you to find out exactly where a certain place is on a map and the satellite view makes it even better. Google maps has a feature known as street view which gives you a 360 degree view of a certain place. I think that is a really cool feature so that you can easily find the location by knowing how it looks. Here is more on that :

Street view is really amazing for certain places like for example if you search for Times Square New York. The location would show on the map. Now you need to click on the street view symbol and then click on whichever stree you wish and you get a 360 degree view of that place.




But if you look at other places like vidhana soudha in bangalore , India , the steet view feature isn't all that great.. FIrstly they are 360 degree pics. They are just normal digital pics which aren't as descriptive or informative as pictures of time square.. BUt it still would give you a rough idea..


So on the whole Google maps is a fantastic service and you should definitely give it a try if you havent.Street view is one feature you shouldn't miss. Also remember that google maps has mobile versions as well so you can install them on your cell phone and perform the same features on your cell phone as well.. So do give this a try!!
