I have used Google Maps before.
It is very handy for working out the distance and travel time.
Last year we went on a road trip from Boise, Idaho to San Diego, CA.
We were able to plan the trip and calculate locations to visit and stay overnight.
I find the street view photos really helpful to identify landmarks as road signs are not always clear.
I did not know that you can add places or change addresses.
I have not used "Where is" before.
The guides at the bottom of the maps to hotels, resturants, banks, shopping, etc. are very useful.
Directions seem easy to use.
Isn't it great for planning trips?! I used the street view function too when I went to Paris. Because I was arriving by myself I looked at the street where my hostel was so I wouldn't feel disoriented. You might like to have a look at http://tripline.net/ it's a mapping website that lets you plan,mark and annotate your trip on a map. Kind of like a micro blog. You can even accent it with pics!
