My husband was the one actually that showed me how to use maps google. The greatest thing that I see with the site is that you can see the actual places on the map instead of looking at a flat map. When you enter a destination you can see the actual location on the computer. It is such a remarkable feature that this site has and it is a lot of fun to look at places on the map and recognize things even down to the car sitting in the driveway. This is a wonderful site with great information that looks pretty current.
