I read an article called "How Far Will Google Maps Go?" by James R. Stoup. It describes the technology that google could use to enhance their mapping system. I personally do not use Google maps (I use Map Quest) but if they started using the technology Stoup talks about, I would be a dedicated fan :). Stoup talks about adding in updates to road construction so you can find the fastest route possible. Also, what if you could view traffic cams inside the map? That would be such a helpful tool. What if google developed a map that populated with stores, parks, industries, apartments, restaurants, etc. and when you hover your curser over the place, an icon appears witha picture of the place. Then when you click on the icon, it displays the address, phone number, business hours, etc. Technology is such an awesome tool!
