Most of you have used Google Maps at some point.  You know, that drag-able, zoom-able online atlas.  Finding locations and directions between two places is simple.  But, listen closely.  I have some secret tips used by the pros.  First, have you ever received a call on your cell phone and didn’t recognize the number.  Well, if it was a business, you can type the phone number in Google Maps and it will tell you which company called.  Cool.  Reverse Phone Search.  It doesn’t work for residences, though, for privacy reasons.  Next, ever notice the little green beaker in the top navigation bar?  This is a link to Google Labs.  These are services Google is testing for later release.  Click it.  You’ll find some really cool options, like distance measurement tools, real-time longitude/latitude calculations, and rotatable maps.  You never knew maps could be this fun!
