Maps

For a number of years now I have always enjoyed using sites on WWW to get directions when I am not sure where I am going.

I do not however have a Sat Nav and rarely use the Maps option on my iPhone to get places, I am still a Melways girl through and through.
However... maps sites on the Internet have always proven useful to me.

It shows the line of travel, as well as directs you (usually) very efficiently, street by street and also give the number of minutes/hours it will take to get you to your destination.
I have used Google Maps before, usually when I am looking up the same type of place in the same area - such as a day spa , hotel hairdresser, and it can show in one suburb where each one is located.

I spent 2 hours this morning trying to figure out how to link my maps to my blog space and I struggled, as I did not find I was achieving what was required in the topic with Google Maps, however I did keep searching and I did it!

So YEY! I successfully embedded my image onto my blog!
I think now thinking back I was over thinking it, and the more I am learning not just about embedding, but about 2.0 web sites is that they are there to help, not hinder the way we communicate.

Adding Value? Google maps has always been a site I use and enjoy using, so I will quite happily use the site and even try to learn more of its features.
