Task 17: Google Maps

I really like Google Maps. I used to use Whereis.com until recently it keeps telling me that my address doesn't exist (at first I was perplexed, I tried changing my suburb as I live near the border of two suburbs but no matter how often I try to tweak it, it keeps telling me that I am delusional and that there is no such address. Funnily enough, I can see my street on the map but it will not give directions from my house!) Google maps on the other hand - works every time.

It does show a picture of my house but I wonder how old the images are. It shows that my nextdoor neighbour has a very large watertank on their front footpath - so I am assuming that this photo is nearly 12 months old. The very large watertank is now under their new pool that was completed in January of this year - interesting!!!

Google docs would have many applications - I hadn't used it before but would be great for people who need to work whilst travelling but do not have access to their documents.
