d3bruts1d Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Lookout Yahoo, Mapquest, and all of you others. Google is here. Google Maps (Beta) OCC News If you look at the images you'll see link to this page. I'm sure bossiness will find that handy. link from the directions I created. So, what do you think? Only bad thing about it is there is not a wide browser support. This is the only problem I've seen with it so far. Imagine a company trying to use this to show web visitors how to get to their store.

Nemo Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Very nice - I like it. How are the driving directions? I have stopped using MapQuest because I think their setup is outdated and harder to use than MapPoint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Just modified the post with some more screenshots. And before anyone gets any ideas, no, that's not my address. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrusk Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 (edited) I love it. Score another win for google IMO. I like how you can seamlessly move around the map with the little arrows. Very nice. Lol, I would say the browser support is pretty wide. You're just using the wrong browser Edited February 8, 2005 by andrusk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Yeah. It works great. It'll be nice when they have the ability to save locations / searches and hopefully tie it all to the same user id for Google Groups and GMail. It updates as fast as you can scroll. I went from my house (in TN) to S. Cal just scrolling around. Works great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasto Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 the directions part needs to be updated. I prefer mapquest for directions. (never tried mappoint) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3bruts1d Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 looks cool, will they add uk os maps i wonder?.... 414319[/snapback] Probably. Remember, this is a beta service. I'm sure after they get everything worked out, they'll expand to conq... cover the world. not bad at all, but idk, mapquest seems to be a little more "accurate" with location, liek google's tells me my address is actualyl about 4 houses down from where i am, misleading for ppl trying to find me....Map quest hits it dead on 414322[/snapback] Heh. I've actually got the complete oppisite response to that. Also, I really like being able to type everything into one box rather than having to use 5 like MapQuest or Yahoo. wtf?!?! a little bugsy maybe.... it's when i tried to zoom on puerto rico 414324[/snapback] lol... yeah, I'd say that it's got more than a few problems. Though remember, it is a beta product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
