What is Google Maps and how does it work?
Google Maps is a free web-based mapping service application. It powers many map-based services including the Google Maps website and embedded maps on third-party websites using the Google Maps API. GreenMap.org utilizes Google Maps to display all the Green Map projects at GreenMap.org. Features: Google Maps offers three viewing modes by default: Map (Street map views), Satellite (satellite and high-resolution aerial photographs) and Hybrid (Street maps overlaid on satellite and high-resolution aerial photographs). Google Maps features a map that can be navigated by dragging the mouse, or scrolling to zoom in (scroll up) or out (scroll down) to show detailed street information. Alternatively you can use the control panel to navigate the embedded Google Maps on our website. The control panel is found on the left hand corner of each map. Use the arrows to navigate east, west, north, or south. To view the original map, click the center icon to refresh the map and restart your navigation. Y
