Thing 13 Google Maps

I use Google Maps fairly often. It has lots of different applications:

  • My daughter is house hunting and she checks out the street and satellite views before deciding to make the effort to visit the prospective house
  • I've looked for the quickest route from home to work (the suggested route gets marked with a blue line). It even tells you how much time it will take by car or walking!
  • I've pinpointed where I live and then searched for nearby pizza delivery places

..and for a work application I've pinpointed VU Footscray Park campus and searched for local printing shops (when our printing service hasn't been open)
