my journey with google maps started in 2007…i was 22 years old…but I don’t know half of my own city…because of the civil war in iraq during 2003-2008…i get married and i wanted to visit a friend family…but i got really embarrassed to ask about the exact location…so i downloaded google maps on my pc…and looked over the location of my friend and voala… it’s there…and since then I’m using google services on daily basis…thank you google for making the life on this planet easier.
