What is Google Maps, and how does it compare with other services?
Google Maps is a Google service offering powerful, user-friendly mapping technology–including business locations, contact information, and driving directions–to anyone searching for results in the United States, Canada, and the UK (more locations coming soon). With Google Maps, you'll enjoy the following unique features:
* Draggable maps – Click and drag maps to view adjacent sections immediately (no long waits for new areas to download).
* Satellite imagery – View a satellite or aerial image of your desired location that you can zoom and pan.
* Integrated search results – Find business locations and contact information all in one location. For example, if you search for [pizza in San Jose], locations of relevant listings appear on your map, and their phone numbers appear alongside.
* Detailed directions – Enter an address and let Google Maps plot the location and/or driving directions for you. Click any part of the driving directions to see a magnified map or satellite image of that part of the route.
* Keyboard shortcuts – Pan left, right, up and down with the arrow keys. Pan wider with the Page Up, Page Down, Home and End keys. Zoom in and out with the plus (+) key and minus (-) keys.
Я думал там найти свой город, ан нет не тут то было. Живу на границе с китаем ни своего города (Благовещенск) не нашел, ни соседнего китайского (Хайхэ). Блин живем тут как оторванные от мира да и от России, а ведь всего то 7000 км от Москвы.
