                 Google Maps

                 In earlier days, while travelling we used to carry paper maps and compass to help us reach our
                 destination without getting lost. Due to advancement of technology, now we have digital map of any
                 place on the Earth. We can access the map through a web browser, or a mobile app. Google Maps
                 is a digital navigation program that provides detailed information about the geographical regions of
                 any particular area. Google Maps was launched on February 8, 2005. It became available in the Play
                 Store from December 2012.
