Google Maps is a free web mapping service application and technology provided by Google.

Google Maps features a map that can be navigated by dragging the mouse, or using the mouse wheel to zoom in (mouse wheel up) or out (mouse wheel down) to show detailed street information. Users can enter an address, intersection or general area to quickly find it on the map. There are quiet a few mapping services avialable on the internet but as far as I am concerned Google Maps is the best. You can easily explore your city in Google Maps and with the Satellite view you can even trace your house, school, college, office anything. Never been to a place before and want to get directions. Well don't ask your friends, just use Google Maps.
Google Maps offers four viewing modes by default:
Map (topographic and street map),
Satellite(satellite and high-resolution aerial photographs),
Hybrid (Street maps overlaid on satellite and
high-resolution aerial photographs) and
Street View ( I am not sure if its available in India).
Here are a few pics of my City from Google Maps.
