Google Maps

Google Maps (for a time named Google Local) is a free web mapping service application and technology provided by Google that powers many map-based services including the Google Maps website, Google Ride Finder, Google Transit and embedded maps on third-party websites via the Google Maps API. It offers street maps, a route planner for traveling by foot, bicycle, car, or public transport and an urban business locator for numerous countries around the world. It also can help with finding businesses.

A related product is Google Earth, a stand-alone program for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and iPhone OS which offers more globe-viewing features.
