Google Maps and Google Docs

I would be lost without Google Maps - literally. Every journey to anywhere, whether in Australia or another country, seems to start with a visit to Google Maps. I didn't think there was anything I didn't know about Google maps, but this time I found a nice little feature that allows you to create your own map of directions, places or features. You can add icons, photos and videos and then save the map and share it with others. I managed to quickly make a simple map of a walk from the Gatton Civic Centre to the new public library near Lake Apex - amazing. You can view it here.

Google Docs is something I should have known about, but didn't. You can use it to create word documents, spreadsheets and even presentations wherever you may be as long as you have a computer and access to the internet. You can also save documents into Google Docs and access them again from anywhere in the world - good one Google!
