Google Maps is a free-of-charge, web map server application that offers street maps, a route planner and business locator for the UK, Ireland, United States, Canada and Japan along with satellite images for the whole world.

The system features a draggable map that can be zoomed in to show detailed street information and offers three view modes:

1. Map (Street map views)
2. Satellite (satellite and high-resolution aerial photographs)
3. Hybrid (Street maps overlaid on satellite and aerial photographs)

There is also a route planner that gives the user a step by step list of how to get to their destination, along with an estimate of the time required to reach it and the distance between the two locations.
