In the previous lesson we have been introduced to the many functions of that google.com can provide us with. Thus, by now we would have known what can Google Maps do for us.
Google Maps is a basic web mapping service application and technology provided by Google.
However, other than Google.com which provides such a service, there is in fact another website that does the similiar thing too.
The website that I am going to introduce would be streetdirectory.com.
Streetdirectory.com
Just like the Google Maps it provides websurfers with the Singapore map, and also both the photos and satellite views. Other than that it has also has catergories for easy access to one's searches such as restaurants, properties, etc, in a single webpage.
Unlike Google maps where one has to key in the searches, instead with a simple click at perhaps "Restaurants", suggestions are available for those who are clueless of where to have their meals, and also suggestions for the type of food that they can choose from. For instance, there are catergories such as Fast Food, Asian,etc. Thus, one does not has to have a place in mind to do the search.
Furthermore, there is a scroll at the side of the map which is divided into 3 sections- "Country", "City", "Street". Thus, for example if one is to scroll to the "city" section, the map would cite all the cities in Singapore, and with little red triangles indicating the restaurants available at each city. Therefore, the only thing one has to do is to simply click at one of the red triangles at one of the cities to have a list of the restaurants cited at the side of the webpage.

After one has chosen the prefered restaurant for dining, the next step would be to click on the restuarant's name to have access to its details such as location and contact numbers.

http://www.streetdirectory.com/restaurants/In conclusion, I find streetdirectory.com a more convenient webpage for searches rather than google maps. This is because all the possible searches are clearly cited in the webpage, thus it is more accessible for those who are not that efficient with technology.

Wow, you have clearly highlighted how useful streetdirectory.com is compared to google maps. Now it really makes me wonder why Google is such a successful company which is generating so much revenue. Even Google Earth is overrated and many people are using it.
