Introduction
Hello, welcome to John and I's google maps wiki...thing...We will talk about how to use, and special things about google maps.

Section1: how to use google maps
To use google maps, first you might need to create a google account to access some of the features of google maps. To do this, you need to go to google, then look for the "sign in" button in the top right corner of google and click on it. Then create your account. Then go back to google and in the top __left__ corner of google you should see a bunch of google programs, click on "maps". This will take you to google maps. You may then search addresses, buildings, amusement parks and pretty much anything else.

Section2: how to create a personal map:
If you have places that you would like to have track of so you can visit them later to have directions to them, you can create a personal map by clicking on "my places" and then.....just watch this video to learn more..: )

Section3: Watching the video
Watch the video all the way through...or else >:O media type="youtube" key="TftFnot5uXw" height="262" width="382"

Section4: safety on google maps
For safety reasons, google has had the right idea on censoring out faces and licence plate numbers..So no creeping on people!!!!

Section5: street view
Of all the the features on google maps, "street view" is my favorite. This allows you to go down to street view about 8 feet off the ground, you can look for addresses and national parks, even the notorious AREA 51!!!!! To access street view click an the little yellow guy you see on google, maps he looks like this-->

Another feature of google maps, is the "get directions" feature. This allows you to get directions from one place to another: Orlando Florida>NYC. Google maps will give you step by step instructions on how to get there, it even marks toll roads! So why dont we see how to get from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Paris, France, ok so we need to..What?! Swim across the Atlantic Ocean? Whos going to do that?!=====

Section7: Satallite or map
There are two ways to view google maps: satallite, and map. Map is just like looking at a map...Nothing but white and boring. While satallite lets you view it like google earth and is more detailed and easier to see stuff.
