What are the design and features of Google Maps?
It offers satellite imagery, aerial photography, street maps, 360° interactive panoramic views of streets (Street View), real-time traffic conditions, and route planning for traveling by foot, car, bike, air (in beta) and public transportation.
How the Google Map application makes use of coordinate geometry in its functioning?
World coordinates in Google Maps are measured from the Mercator projection's origin (the northwest corner of the map at 180 degrees longitude and approximately 85 degrees latitude) and increase in the x direction towards the east (right) and increase in the y direction towards the south (down).
