Thing 19

I browsed several award-winning sites from the Web 2.0 awards list. Of those I am most likely to use, I chose Google Maps. I generally have used Mapquest for directions, but now that I have had some experience with Google Maps, I think I will consult it instead (Mapquest wasn't even on the Shortlist.) I did some of the basic searches I had done on Mapquest, had fun with satellite views and compared the route I take to work vs. the route recommended just for fun. The site is easy to use and I will definitely take time to investigate its many possibilities later, as time permits. Did not download GoogleEarth, but am definitely intrigued and will investigate soon.
