Visit sites around the world from the comfort of your home, get a bird’s-eye-view of your childhood neighborhood, or simply get directions to your friend’s house! Google Maps is a mapping application that offers satellite imagery, street maps, and street-view perspectives.  It also has a route planner for your preferred transportation method, be it foot, car, bicycle, or public transportation. During this lecture, you’ll get an introduction to the platform and a demonstration of how to use it.
