This advanced search facility allows you to find the location of businesses, residential addresses and places of interest at the touch of a button. Visitors to Google Maps can simply enter their required location into the search facility and Google Maps will display a detailed map of it, you can then request directions to your chosen destination either for a vehicle or by foot and also search for destinations nearby. Google Maps has a section where visitors can sign up to get a Google Maps account which then allows them to customise their Google Maps experience, create and share personalised maps with friends and family and keep a record of previously entered addresses.
