Google maps navigation

The navigation system for google maps comes with many options, such as the street view, walking navigation, satellite view etc. I like how there is also a speak option, which means that you dont have to type in the destination. This is more user friendly if the user cant be bothered tyipng out the destination, or dont like to type and walk at the same time, and so on...

A mix of maps, pictures and written directions are available so that the user get the most accurate directions as possible. It also tells you the distance in measurements, coloured arrows for clear directions, alternative options, how much traffic there is etc.

E map

This website allows the user to navigate through different layers (in picture above) so that the user uses what they think works best for them. This is user friendly because it caters to more groups of people

Yellow pages maps

This mapping interface is quite useful as it does what most other navigation systems do, where you type in your destinatiom and it creates a path using a map or street view. It also has suggestions of accomidation and business places so that It is a more specific search. You can zoom in and out so the map can be as detailed as you like.
