Widget watch: Google maps
Here's another widget that I'd dare categorize as "useful." The Google maps widget works much like the Google maps webpage, in that it provides a very clean way to view maps and satellite photos of locations in the US, UK and Canada. Navigate maps in the widget by zooming in and out or scrolling left or right. Pretty nice.Share

I was a die-hard MapQuest user until someone introduced me to GoogleMaps. I switched right there and then. You cannot top how clean and uncluttered their maps look.

Google Maps is great, especially when I am looking for a specific address and I need to use the satellite view. Probably the only widget in my collection that gets the most attention. Fishes, narco.
