Google Maps


   Today I'll be talking about Google Maps and a competitor to it.  Now one thing about Google Maps is that its a digital map that you would somewhat use like a normal map, but everything is digital and more colorful.  Now Google Maps unlike Google Earth seems to have my  actual 911 address/physical address right.  Also Google Maps is very simplistic to use its pretty much you type in where you're at and where you want to go and Google Maps does it for you.  You can select which method of travel and It'll give you a rough estimate of how many mile it is and how long it'll take to your destination.  you can have up to eight points on your travel route, but you can make more by making a new layer.

Bing Maps

  Now what better competitor than Microsoft's Bing Maps.  Bing Maps is good in its own respects and most aspects of Google Maps.  One thing I've noticed while using it is that unlike GM it doesn't automatically spell out your searches for you as your typing below so you can speed up time.  The most part is that Bing Maps is not much different to Google Maps then what I can see.

    So i've went over Google Maps and Bing Maps and compared and talked about the two.  So thanks for reading and have a nice day.
