Maps.Google.com, is Something!!!!

Google Maps is really interesting. I have been working with it for a while and it's amazing what all it will do! Here is a sample:

Where we spend most of our time:

View Larger Map

This is a map I quickly threw together to show you how it works. I have marked all the places where we have purchased RV lots. You can do an unreal amount of things with Google Maps. Click on a few things like "View Larger Map" and "Sat" on the above map for just a sample of a few things you can do.

Try it out here: http://maps.google.com/

Click on the markers on my map above and it will open a little window and tell you where the place is and something about it. You can also put pictures and/or picture albums in these pop ups.

If you go to Google Earth, you can Fly around the country at any altitude you want.


Here is another close-up of our place in Mission, TX

View Larger Map Click on the marker on this map (first click on "View larger map")and open the little box. Now you see a picture of our place in Texas. Click on the picture and it takes you to our Picture Album of the place with LOTS of pictures..... NEAT HUH????? Just think of what all YOU could do with GOOGLE MAPS!!!

Chris Guld of http://www.geeksontour.com/ does a wonderful job of teaching anyone how to use the Maps, plus a ton of other stuff. She puts out a newsletter with a world of information and I really enjoy her Tutorial Videos; they are short and informative. I have learned a lot from them. If I can do it, anybody can!!!! Check her site out and subscribe to her newsletter.
