Week Seven - 13 Play with Google Maps

Hi again 'tis me!

The Google Maps tool is fabulous! I searched for my ex Brisbane house in Chapel Hill and saw a bit of the roof and garden using the satellite function. Also search for my Dad's place in a village called Sparry Bottom, Cornwall UK - the satellite photo of the area was like patchwork green. I searched a route from London to Sparry Bottom - it is so detailed and helpful for travellers. Even calculates the estimated driving time and distance - in this case 291 miles, 5 hours and 9 minutes!!
As I enjoy reading road maps and atlases for fun anyway, I can see Google Maps will be a favorite of mine in the 23 things activities.
