What is Google Maps and how do you use it?

▤ Summary

Google Maps is a web service that provides detailed information about geographical regions and sites worldwide. In some cities, Google Maps offers street views comprising photographs taken from vehicles. For example, a route planner offers directions for drivers, bikers, walkers and users of public transportation traveling from one specific location to another. It was explicitly designed to run seamlessly on devices with limited memory connected to unreliable networks -- without compromising speed, accurate directions, real-time traffic updates and transit information. Google Maps Timeline is essentially a historical estimate of all the places a user has been and the routes they took during the journey.
