Google Maps is an invaluable travel tool
I'd like to book my first leg of European travel in advance so I'm not going to get caught with no roof considering I'll be travelling right in the middle of summer (July arggh ... Lonely Planet recommends to stay away from Europe during July).
Checking out the many options of hostels I initially had no idea which one to choose, especially regarding to locations. Having never been out to Paris, the hostel description can say they are in such and such location, good close to the city but yeah what do I know. This is where Google Maps helps a lot. Lonely Planet gives me a good map for the city centre, so I can get my bearing where the Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysees and Google Maps completes it by giving me the exact location where the hostel is. This is really amazing, just like Whereis for Paris with steroids (much better map engine).
I just type the hostel's address in Google Maps search bar and wham it takes me to the exact location of the hostel.
