You are in Venice . You want a boat ride into the city. its your first time and you don't know the locations..... you are having a long road trip with your pals and you were lost ...... you are new to London and you want to know where you can get Indian food .. the only solution is GOOGLE MAPS.
Google maps and Google earth have been the most sophisticated tools to DISCOVER the world and LOCATE yourself.As Google maps is coded almost entirely in JAVA script and XML , some end users have reverse engineered the tool and produced client side scripts and server side hooks which EXPANDED AND CUSTOMIZED its features
Upgraded from the exquisite Zaze , Google Maps uses a close variant of the Mercator projection, so it cannot accurately show areas around the poles. A related product is Google earth, a stand-alone program which offers more globe-viewing features, including showing polar areas.

Google maps is the world's most popular app for smartphones with over 54% of global smartphone owners using it at least once during the month of August 2013.Some of the innovative features are Google route finder and Google satellite view etc .
Given below are two of CREATIVE and fascinating features of it .
Google Moon
In honor of the 36th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969, Google took public domain imagery of the Moon, integrated it into the Google Maps interface, and created a tool called Google Moon. By default this tool, with a reduced set of features, also displays the points of landing of all Apollo spacecraft to land on the Moon
Google Mars
Google Mars provides a visible imagery view, like Google Moon, as well as infrared imagery and shaded relief of the planet Mars. Users can toggle between the elevation, visible, and infrared data, in the same manner as switching between map, satellite, and hybrid modes of Google Maps.
Thus Google maps has created a futuristic and also useful service without which half of the world will be LOST !!
