05/16/2024 10:30am 05/16/2024 11:30am Google Maps Tips and Tricks Are you planning your summer travels? Let's look at Google Maps together! This essential resource is handy as both a website and app for travel and armchair exploration. We'll start with the basics of selecting locations, navigating around a map, and getting directions for driving, walking, or public transport. For times when you're just curious about a place, you'll see how to switch between different views (such as satellite, map, and street levels), find photos that people have shared, and save places on your Google account's custom maps. Bring your device or plan to use a library laptop so you can follow along as we look at all of the amazing features in Google Maps and do Q&A while you're using the software. Registration is optional if you'd like to receive an email reminder. Instructor: Stacey, manager of the Digital Media Lab Iowa City Public Library Iowa City Public Library America/Chicago public
