Google Maps

Google Maps is one of the better online map applications. Undoubtedly, this is due to the clarity and quality offered when looking through the maps. The maps are updated and very easy to read and follow. Additionally, as is true with just about anything related to Google, searching, looking through, and navigating the map application in Google Maps are all part of a very simple, straight forward process that truly brings this application to a state where it can be used by even the most novice of internet users.

Google Maps are also very useful when plotting routes. This is due to a few main reasons, the first being the ability to switch between satellite and standard map views. While the standard map is always good, the ability to switch into a 3D satellite view (something unique to Google Maps) truly helps to bring the route into better context and allows the driver to see exactly the route they will be taking. The other main reason is a mixture of how Google clearly differentiates between different roads, highways, etc, and marks with an easy to see pin whenever there will be an alteration in the course, a change of highways, etc.

As can easily be seen, Google offers one of the premier map applications. Google Maps has a combination of quality and ease of use that makes it an easy recommendation for everyone.
