Google Maps is awesome to find the route to an unknown destination. It even calculates the time to reach there based on the mode of transport and the live traffic. What is cool that it lists any nearby hotspots that you would might like to visit in a locality. Did Google Maps help you on your journey ?

@Sojourn It was one of the first online maps, people would print out pages on pages of every turn they had to do.

not always, sometimes my location is not on the map because of an error in naming the road.

yep, it is quite useful if you are good at reading maps.. although the time calculation can be way off

I don't follow the time calculation.... but by seeing averages across a day you can make a rough guess

I use to the extent that now I am clueless without it to go to a nearby shop also. I am totally dependent on it. It is a blessing for someone like me.
