Through Google Maps, we can easily see an overview of the road and the location we want to go. Please note that the map in Google Maps is divided into 2 categories. 

First, a map that depicts mountains, oceans, land is a map generated via satellite. 

Second, a map that depicts the highway or what is commonly referred to as ‘Google Street View’ which is generated through the mapping of Google-camera cars traveling across the streets that you want to display.
