List of all Google Services
Google Mac Widgets
Widgets: Widgets are mini-applications that you download and install
into Dashboard to add new functionality.
In true Google fashion, the Mac versions are always a tad behind
the PC ones. But nonetheless, Google has released the Mac versions
of the Blogger tool, which allows you to quickly and easily post
to your blogger account, the Gmail inbox in a glace widget, so you
don't have to open your account to keep checking your account, and
the Search History widget.

Google Maps
Google Maps (for a time named Google Local) is a free, web map server
application and technology provided by Google that powers many map
based services including Google Maps, Google Ride Finder and embedded
maps on third-party websites via the Google Maps API.
Features: Google Maps features a drag gable map
that can be zoomed in to show detailed street information. The user
can control the map with the mouse or the arrow keys to move to
the desired location. To allow for quick movement, the "+"
and "-" keys can be used to control the zoom level. Users
may enter an address, intersection or general area to quickly find
it on the map.
Criticism: Street map overlays, in some areas,
may not match up precisely with the corresponding satellite images.
The street data may be entirely erroneous, or simply out of date.

Google Maps Mobile
Take the power of Google maps with you on your mobile phone: Combining
directions, maps, and satellite imagery, Google Maps is a free download
that lets you find local hangouts and businesses across town or
across the country - right from your phone.
Detailed directions: Whether you plan to walk or drive, your route
is displayed on the map itself, together with step-by-step directions.
Integrated search results: Local business locations and contact
information appear all in one place, integrated on your map.
Easily movable maps: Interactive, drag gable maps let you zoom in
or out, and move in all directions so you can orient yourself visually.
