"MAN: Okay, this clip I'm going to give you, just an overview of the Google Maps interface. And just real quick, to get here you can go to maps.google.com or just search for Google Maps. It should come up real fast. So at the top, you've got some--because I'm signed in to my Google account, I've got these other options. It says I'm signed in with My Profile and Save Locations and My Account. And then the first thing you got here is your search box. You've got Search the map and it brings up a double box if you want to find businesses, the What and the Where, and then the start and address if you're getting directions. And over here in the left is where you have your search results. So whenever you search for something, if you're searching for businesses, they'll pop up over here. And if you're getting directions, your step-by-step directions will pop over here. To the left is where your search results will be, and you see right here it says Search Results. Also you got your My Maps over here which we'll talk about later. I'm going to talk about all these--most everything later. I'm just giving you an overview. And then you've got your map right here. You've got some navigation and you can also click and drag to navigate and then you've got some view options up here. And then you've got the link to this page option, the e-mail option and then an option to print the map. So that's the basic overview, and we're going to go into detail on all these areas and specifics in later clips."
