Google Releases Maps In Beta

  • February 9, 2005
Google Tuesday released Google Maps, an online mapping function that can locate business and private addresses and get driving directions in a beta version, a Google spokeswoman said. Google Maps--which incorporates search results from Google Local, also a beta service offered by the search giant-- was added to the home page last week. The service gives turn-by-turn directions to and from searched addresses, and also offers the ability to locate wi-fi hotspots in the area.
