I searched a few places of interest of Google Maps and it's always interesting. I was a little disappointed to visit some areas in which you could not view 360 degrees at street level. I am curious at how often the visuals are updated, as I noticed it has been 3 to 4 years, judging by vehicles in driveways. I was trying to zoom in a make legible the vehicle tag numbers or mailbox numbers, but with no success. I wonder if this is intentional?
I am the WORST with directions, I can see how this is an extremely useful tool in getting from point A to B. My GPS can direct me and once I get so far it keeps claiming "you have reached your destination" however, I have not! And so it would help if I knew what exactly I was looking for.
I like the feature that you can create maps and even add little icons. This is a helpful tool for visitors because they are always asking "where should I go?" and "whats good to eat?" How easy would it be to have a map. you wouldn't have to tell them its the same map you use for allll visitors ;)
This is a great tool for classroom lesson to learn about other regions or countries, especially with the icon feature.
Nicely done as far as it goes. Did not cover Google Treks, lesson plans, or the links for educators.
