I agree that most of the people who are using internet knows how to use “Google maps” on their pc or smartphone or tablet. This is also very much easy to use the great application from Google which is doing a lot of help to search the destination of the people all around the world.
Though there were also some pen and paper maps available before that which is analog, it was not that much helpful compared to the current version of Google Maps because you can easily differentiate why Google Maps is changing the way to finding out the destination.
I am not sure how many percentage of people now a days use Google maps to find out their destination but i want to tell that this is the smartest way to find out your destination. Though the young generations are using this applications to find out one location over the internet but what i have observed from my personal point of view is that seniors are not using this application that much over the internet. The reasons behind this is may
* Not that much interaction with the internet
* User friendliness of Google Maps
* Finding difficulty to use it
That is why it knocked my mind to share step by step procedure use Google maps in a smooth way so that people do not feel any difficulty to use it. You can follow the below steps to find your destination in “Google Maps“:
1. At first go to this link “http://maps.google.com/” where you will see the below picture. If you are in the “Google Search” page, then just by clicking on the “Maps” that i have pointed out, you will be able to go to that screen.
2. Now you need to search for your location. In the below picture i have made the box where you need to search for “Location“. As i am living in Taiwan, i searched for the central station in Taipei which is “Taipei Main Station“. Then you will see the location is marked as “A“, which i have circled it in the picture.
3. Now you will have to see and check the below picture and you will be amazed that if you use “Google Maps“, what kind of information you can get.
* At first you need to click on the “Get Directions” and then just below this option two boxes will appear, A and B.
* In “A” you can write the place from the place that you want to start and in “B” you need to write your destination.
* Now you have 3 options, which will show just below the get directions box. Whether you want to go by walk or by train or MRT or by Taxi. Click any of this option and you will get the data. As i want to go to the tallest building in Taiwan, “Taipei 101” and the distance i can see is not near by so i choose the MRT option and in the map it is showing me all the data. In the map it is showing that at first i need to go by MRT then i need to start walking and the whole process will take around 25 minutes. Isn’t it cool??
Do not just stop here. You have more options.
4. If you want o see the street view, then you can see the below picture:
From the above picture you can see that i have mentioned “Drag and Drop the person to point A“. If you want to see the street view, then just drag and drop the person to point A and you will be able to see the street view. Not only the street view, you will be able to reach your destination through the route which is mentioned.
The street view will look like below:
So, now i think it will be totally clear to you, if you do not know the procedure and did not use the application before. No need to ask the strangers about your destination. From now on wards you will be able to know your own destination. If you need any further information or have any further query then just ask me through comments.
