In order to record a location on Google Maps or instruct others on using it, you need to create a screenshot of the map. Having been updated with coming up features later, Google Maps becomes more and more intuitive and powerful for you to search any place around the world. It allows users to create their own map with lines, markers, directions, as well as measure distances and areas. In 2007, Google Maps furnished itself with a new feature: My Maps. It not only provides satellite imagery, street maps, but also offers routes for you depending on your transportation (by car, public transportation, walking and bicycling).

Google Maps is a web mapping service application.
