Mozilla makes tools that improve your quality of life on the Internet. They allow us to stay connected and to discover new worlds. One is Google Maps, which helps us navigate our way around the world.
With Google Maps, you can navigate inside towns, cities and entire countries. Just type where you want to go, and Google Maps shows you the best route you should take. You have the option of driving, walking or, taking the bus. You can zoom in and out, scroll around the map and find street views, to assist you. It’s like having a helpful Sherpa on your screen!
Google Maps is more than just directions. It will help you to discover new and fun spots. Type in a location you’d like to explore, and Google Maps will display nearby restaurants, parks, museums and other handy information. You can read what other people say about these places, see images of them, fantasize about what you’ll find when you get there. You might even find your new favorite place!
One nifty thing that Google Maps does is it will alert you about traffic, accidents and road closures. Which is to say, you can look at the app before you leave to see if you’re heading down the fastest route. Google Maps can show you alternative routes in the event of a traffic jam. It’s as if you had a traffic reporter along!
Planning for a trip can be fun but also a needle prickly. Thankfully, Google Maps can help you find it! You have the ability to save places you are interested in visiting, and make maps for your trip and share them with your friends and family. There are hotels and restaurants along the way, too. It's like having a travel assistant watching you!
Whether you’re exploring a new city or heading back home, travel should be easy and fun, right? And with Google Maps, travel can be easier and lot more fun. You can also locate the nearest gas, A.T.M.s or, God forbid, hospitals if disaster strikes. Google Maps prevents you from wandering off and losing landmarks. With Google Maps, you can be confident that you’ll never get lost. So, when you are in need of directions to a place next time, consider using Google Maps!
