: Google Launch Google Maps
Posted on Friday, February 11 @ 09:02:00 ART by Webmaster |
Online search giant Google have launched a new, "in-house" designed, map tool for web searchers called Google Maps.
Google described their efforts as an attempt to make "maps can be useful and fun" in an attempt to "simplify how to get from point A to point B. Say you're looking for "hotels near LAX." With Google Maps you'll see nearby hotels plotted right on a crisp new map (we use new rendering methods to make them easier to read). Click and drag the map to view the adjacent area dynamically - there's no wait for a new image to download. Or get step-by-step directions to where you're headed. If a particular intersection on the route looks tricky, click on that step in the directions to see a magnified view. Play with the keyboard shortcuts (arrow keys to pan or the +/- keys to zoom in and out) too."
