Google Maps is a unrolled piece of digital map that we can carry with anywhere and it also gets updated. It is a free source which google provides us. The Google map serves all the functions of a paper map and I should say that is more than a paper map some of the features that I liked are:
Easy to carry: Google map is easy to carry we do not need it to roll up and mess with it like we have to do with paper map
Easy to access any place: Like paper map we do not have to locate the city in the map we can get directly to it by just searching which is a good feature.
Makes journey easier: It also provide us a automatic direction teller which we can activate if we are pedestrian, in car, in bus or any vehicle and that too without looking it as it automatically speaks that we have to take a turn and direct us to our destination.
Sugges Paths: It also sugges us path to a place as we know at todays time there are a numver of paths to a place using this feature we can select the shortest distance, longest distance or any defined highway road.
Locate us and get to destination: If we get lost we can know where we are and how much far we are from our destination and which way should we go.
I personally uses it when I go in any new city and it helps a lot to me by suggesing me shortest path and saving my fuel.
