                 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.
