It seems like everyday something new is added to one of Google’s services. Since I use Google Maps daily, it’s there where I’ve been noticing some really cool additions:
- Less than two year ago, Google Maps added the ability to monitor Live Traffic conditions.
- About six months ago, construction sites and traffic accidents were added.

Now, you can type in the phone number of a person or business you want to Google Map search! Not every person is in there, but just about every business I tried, including mine, is there.
