Background Story
To be honest, Google Maps is a great application as well as a great service from Google. And you don't need to pay a single dollar to avail this service. When I had been transferred from Dhaka to Sylhet, I was little bit tensed about the new area, places, roads and directions.
Though I'm in the new location for the first time in my life, Google Maps makes it easy for me to move on.
