Google Maps - Task 6

This one I am already a fan of! Being someone not-so-great with directions or remembering street names, I have been an avid user of Google Maps for years now. Being someone not-so-great with punctuality too, I really like that Google Maps will tell me exactly how log it will take for me to get from A to B, or Z for that matter. Prior to owning an i-phone I used to load up the map and directions on my computer and take a picture of it with my camera phone, or my camera so as not to have bit of paper floating around in my bag. My husband and I even used this method when travelling overseas to find directions to hotels, restaurants and other places of interest prior to us leaving the country so we wouldn't have to waste time in internet cafes or asking for directions. Now that I have an i phone it's one of my most used apps - why i even used it just the other night coming home from the shopping centre when I took a wrong turn into a new blossoming suburb and couldn't find my way back. A fantastic tool that I would literally be 'lost' without! ;)
