 * Intro to Google Maps**

Google Maps allows you to create custom maps that you can share with anyone, or with select people. This allows you to plan a day biking trip with several stops along the way, or even a cross country trip with pre-planned rest stops and scenic detours. You can upload pictures, or even video, of interesting points along the way. When you are done, invite your friends are travel partners to see the map. They can also add their input to the map, so multiple people can plan a trip if you aren't in one place.
