Have map, Will Travel

Have map, Will Travel! Love that line except when the gas prices are your 1 gallon for your firstborn. America loves to travel since the creation of the first car to sputter off the assembly line.

Now back then they may of not have the tools we use for traveling. For example: Run Flat Tires. Yes run flats may not be a necessity but imagine back when you had to replace a wagon size wheel on a model T. And the most embarrassing part about it is they didn't have wrecker's back then to pull your car. You had to get it pulled by horse and carriage, ah the irony of it all.

On top of that maps were not as easy to use as they are today. We have key maps, maps to your street, maps to your bathroom, maps of space, maps, maps maps. And as a species without maps we'd have to rely on only our surrounding areas.

Now here's the secret. You can create your own map with way points all using google maps.

Say for example that you have places of interest you may want to share with someone. Theaters, Restaurants, A Cow you say painted funny. You can share with many other people. And making one is the most fun part.

Go to maps.google.com. Go ahead and register yourself for a gmail.google.com account but it's not necessary. At maps.google.com you'll see an option for "My Maps" click on that. After just search for different restaurants and when you see one click on it and add it to your "My Maps".

Easy as that. So we can share it with each other here's mine:
