With Google Maps, not only you can find the best routes but you can also do thousands of ordinary things you do daily. The video tutorial here shows some of it, like finding the show times of movies, finding the best real estate, and others.

First you should log in to your Google account (free) to access all the stuff shown in the video. You can also see this Google Maps without a Google account, but it will be better if you use your Google Account to save all the features.

Just follow these steps:

1.) Go to Google Maps http://maps.google.com/

2.) Click "My Maps"

3.) You will see a number of Mapplets, which are small gadgets that bring data from external sources and places them in the map for easy access.

4.) If you don't find what you like you can click "Add Content" there are 100s of items.

That's it, after this you can do a number of things, and once you find your favorite thing in the map, you can get directions and go there with Google Maps. It is easy to use.
