Google Maps is such a great tool for the Road Bandits. Oddly, I find that a lot of people have no real clue about how awesome this tool really is. 

Over the next few weeks/months Randy and I will show you some cool tips and trick with Google Maps that will make your life easier. Let’s start with something simple first. Something like finding a pizza joint in your neighborhood.

Enjoy…

    Hi,

    I like the way the video puts your photo in the bottom right hand corner. What program are you using to create your videos with.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Oooo, I never saw that search nearby feature before. Very cool Jason!

    Hey Alex,

    I used Camtasia for the Mac. Screenflow does something very similar as well. I recommend both programs. Camtasia is available on the PC as well.

    Thx Mike. Yeah, it’s easy to over look until someone points it out.

    Jason – I agree – Google Maps is far superior to other mapping programs (like Mapquest). What I would love to see in future videos is how to take Google Maps and easily layout, lets say 6 different places to go to – to have one set of directions going to all 6 places, and to know how to arrange the 6 places so you could go to them in an orderly method.

    Google maps is one of the great applications from Google…and it looks and works great on the iPhone as well.
