| Comment: | Explore Google Maps - Now online maps are draggable
Getting from point A to point B just got a lot easier. Google Maps shows you where you want to go — and tells you what you'll find when you get there.
Maps are great for getting around, but online maps could be a lot better. So Google decided to make dynamic, interactive maps that are draggable — no clicking and waiting for graphics to reload each time you want to view the adjacent parts of a map. Want to be able to type in the name of a region or neighborhood and see any part of it as easily as with a regular street map? Now you can with Google Maps.
Since these maps are draggable, you can use your mouse or the directional arrows to pan left, right, up and down to see areas that are hidden offscreen. You can also use the slider to zoom in and zoom out.
It's like having a huge map you can scroll around in. |
