Growing up, we learnt a subject called Geography. We learnt and mastered various landmarks in the World Globe and were tested and we passed exams. That ended up there and nothing further happened until Google Maps happened.
I can confess that from our humble backgrounds, we could never dream beyond the World maps we saw in our head teacher’s or Principal’s offices. Some of the countries we learnt of through these maps but could not get the accurate and precise locations because of no resources.
Thanks to Google, they thought it wise that while building and making the global village through the internet, Maps was in their blueprint.
I am a passionate Maps contributor because I understand the impact it has in the present world. This is the reason I have adjusted my precise location settings to be always on and I can go about my business confident that I won’t get lost along the way. With Maps, if I need to drive to a new location, I just go to the options panel and choose direction from the point I am presently in and my destination. Google Maps will do the rest for me.
That does not end there, if I am in a new city and need directions for a specific place, I simply search that place having turned on the GPS and I get what I need there and then!
What more shall I say? being a constant user of Maps has made me love visiting places I never thought existed because they are very visible including the areas that are adjacent. I can see amenities, health facilities, schools and more at a glance in the Maps.
