Week 8; Thing 19: Discover Any Site From the Web 2.0 Awards List

For my site I chose the Mapping winner, Google Maps. I tried to use it to map a route for a trip I am taking. Unfortunately, it did not connect to my destination. I did a search for the destination. Although there was a Map It option, I could not get it to produce a map from my home to the destination.

On the other hand, it was easy and fun to look at the hybrid maps or the satellite maps of interesting areas.

I could see using with patrons to help them with directions and then be able to show them the aerial picture of their route and, if they were lucky, the street level of it too.
