The biggest thing google map did to me, that made me fell in love with google map.
its happened, when I was writing my thesis in the University as an undergraduate, my study area was 8 hours drive from my university. I just came back from my study area and I presented my research work to my supervisor, my supervisor asked me what is the length of a particular river on my study area. I told him, I don’t know. He asked him to go back to my study area and get the length of the river. I was troubled, thinking about the poor road, and how to get money to travel back. I slept, and wake up the next morning, using my google earth, I discovered how to measure the river. I got the length of the river accurately, was relied and happy, my supervisor, was amazed, and said, what a smart student… Thanks to Google…
