Blog Bucket- Mobile Maps

Maps don't have to be stationary on a piece of paper. A good amount of people use forms of mobile maps on a day to day basis. An example of a mobile map, or several mobile maps, can be found in GoogleEarth. GoogleEarth provides interactive maps that move with the user's click of a mouse. The maps are aerial views of anywhere in the world. The view of places on Earth is great for planning trips because you can get a realistic view of the area you will be traveling. You can also use the mouse to move along the roads in your trip. The form of mobile maps most commonly used today are found in GPS. A GPS device is 100% a mobile map. The map moves along with the user as they drive, making it virtually impossible to get lost.
