More Things- Nbr 32 My Google Map

Little Marais Area.

I had used Map Quest for years. Good for driving directions, and pinpoint destinations. I'm impressed with Google My Maps.

Mashups would be based on need. I don't see a static use for libraries outside of major metro areas. Custom local maps such as mine would be useful.

My daughter in Chicago uses a cellphone tool that provides specific location and arrival times of CTA (busses). She can ride the El, look ahead to meet a bus, or have a taxi waiting when she arrives at her station.

I like your map - the icons are handy - I marked the Mesabi Bike Trail - and local sites around Hibbing. I see you also marked a coffee shop - very important.
We often stop at the Cohoe Cafe when we get along the North Shore.

Quick fingers - I really mean leave my name Cherylkay. Thanks for all the kind words about my blog. I have enjoyed Blip but haven't spent much time at it.
