Understanding Google Maps & Local Search – Developing Knowledge about Local Search

New Google Toolbar Map Gadget – all maps all the time

Category: Google Places (Maps & Local) – Mike – 11:06 pm

Some of us are Map junkies. Now we can have all Maps all the time. You can experience your fix without needing to leave whatever site you are browsing at the moment with a newly announced Google Maps gadget for use on the  Google Toolbar 5 (for Internet Explorer or Firefox).

The gadget sits neatly tucked away until you click on the compass in your tool bar at which point a map pops out that allows you to do a local search and get directions.

Please consider leaving a comment as your input will help me (& everyone else) better understand and learn about local.

  1. OMG – I can’t believe. Maps all the time. Cuz you know I can’t get enough of Google. I dream in technicolourgoogle as well!.

    Pair that up with the Dominio’s TIVO ordering – one might never have to leave their chairs ever again!

    The way I figure it is that there is weight gain roughly equivalent to about 10 calories for every minute that I spend in front of my screen. Fortunately I don’t have a Tivo and I don’t like Domino’s but unfortunately I love my Maps. Could it be that Google is single handedly responsible for the fat epidemic that is sweeping America?
