They have even created a MyMaps application on Android devices that makes it easy to access, manage and create maps on the fly. This helps differentiate their Maps from those like Microsoft's Office 365 which serve in a more limited business role and not open for all users to take advantage of. Google's MyMaps is now fully-integrated into Google Drive which helps show how they plan to used their cloud-based service to better connect products and Google users. But with MyMaps new features I can see myself using these maps more often and in a wider scope. I have used custom maps with Google before to plan trips to New York or create a shared map for friends who were visiting from out of town for my wedding. I also saw great applications that I assumed were done with MyMaps for corporate sites where they made searching a local area or finding franchises super simple and fun.

I had totally forgotten about Google's MyMaps until recently, which is shocking because I use Maps every day.and they never stopped reminding me of its existence.

I mean you could use another service like Apple Maps or Bing Maps but, for me, that is like saying "I am switching to Zune because I Pods don't work for me." As a big Google reviewer, I also love that I can do a quick search for new places to eat or new shops and get an idea on how the public received it before trying myself. Google Maps can even be leveraged to find your way around a city on your mobile phone whether you are online or offline. We know that it is crucial in helping new businesses get found, getting everyday directions to home or work and places in-between. We all know the power behind Google Maps. Often Forgotten, Google MyMaps Makes It Easy To Create & Share Maps Online
