could change the way you think about travel maps.
We have added a Google search bar to

world. For example, if you were going to visit Edinburgh, Scotland and were
interested in buying a kilt, you could enter that term in the search bar and
find shops that sell kilts in Edinburgh.

or anything you need, wherever you go. The search results are shown in
a list and on the map. Try searching our
