Yes, I am oddly obsessed with Google Maps. I’ve always been a geography nerd, so Google Maps is like some sort of drug that satiates my permanent desire to inspect topographical anomalies, extreme locations and the earth’s antipodes. But Google Maps isn’t just for weird geo-addicted goobers like me. Google Maps is for everyone. And if you’re using any other map service online, like MapQuest or Yahoo! Maps, you should definitely convert to Google.

Google Maps would have made Christopher Columbus pee his pants.

This link takes you to a really cool site called Google Maps tips for life. It’s a user-friendly page that navigates you through all the cool things that Google Maps can do to help you find local businesses, addresses and directions. It also shows you Google Maps’ cool features like the Virtual Walking Tour, My Maps and Map Maker.

As our world gets smaller and online tools evolve, it becomes easier to explore the amazing places around us. In my humble opinion, Google Maps is one of the coolest Internet sites to come into existence. And it’s only getting better.
