GOOGLE MAPS
Google Maps is one of those tools that has evolved tremendously over the years. It is a
web-mapping tool that enables us to display maps by searching an address or place of interest.
It is an app that shows us how to get around while driving interstate, and within cities. It provides
directions when the user enters a starting and a destination point. The current position of the user
can be determined with the help of GPS (Global Positioning System) services provided by it. It also
helps us find seats in a large stadium or navigate to our favourite store in a mall. It also lets us
check the traffic by tapping the traffic option present in the app.
To access Google Maps from your computer, follow the given steps:
By default, the Map appears in the Map view. However, you can change the view by clicking on the
Menu icon and choose the desired view option.
