Discovering Web 2.0 tools - Google Maps

Google Maps are very well designed, intuitive,interactive, and the good search capabilities. I found using it is good looking directions or maps of any location. It also provides aerial photos in impressive detail for many areas. Found it very applicable when planning trips and to organise locations for taking photos and videorecordings.

I found you can use Google Maps to:

  • Search for locations and addresses
  • Find businesses in your area
  • Get directions and check live traffic
  • Create and view personalized maps
  • Mark your favorite places on my map
  • Draw lines and shapes to highlight paths and areas
  • Add your own text, photos, and videos
  • Share your map with friends and family

This application would be useful Tourism and hospitality, Business and Multimedia couses.
