I Will Never Get Lost Again

I will never get lost again. Sigh. If only the Philippines were included in google maps. Google maps not only gives directions to desired locations within the US but also provides pictures with zoom options. Aside from that, according to a CNN.com article (http://money.cnn.com/2007/07/11/technology/bc.google.maps.reut/index.htm), "Google Inc. will introduce Wednesday a new feature that lets users create personalized maps which plot the locations of everything from cheap gas locally to the latest earthquakes worldwide". Aside from from this new feature, Google maps allows a potential property owner to overlay local crime statistics on their new neighborhood. Plus, "tourists could check out photos posted by other tourists to sites such as Yahoo Inc.'s (Charts, Fortune 500) Flickr to figure out what the hotel or the surrounding region looks like before they book a reservation". Looks like you can really find anything these days, even when you don't know where to look.
