It is much more than being yet another navigation software. If you are using maps for the sake of exploring the details of a place, looking at the satellite image is sure to work wonders.

The Drunken Train Feature

This is the latest addition to the feature list of Google maps. Google maps will not only tell you the routes you can take for the sake of reaching home, but at the same time, it will also tell the latest time, up to which, you can make the trip.
