Now, all you need to do is log onto Google Map services or other websites that offer maps of cities from your WI-FI or GPRS enabled mobile phone and get all the information of downtown Los Angeles you need.

Once you log on to the Google Maps website, enter the city and street name of the place you wish to go to and a highly descriptive, information filled map is at your disposal!

What's more, if you want to find a particular Mexican restaurant to satisfy your hunger pangs, search for restaurants on the website and a list of restaurants should appear that match your search criteria, including photos, reviews and other important information you may need to make a decision. Moreover, if your phone is GPS enabled, it can give you real time directions to the area of your choice!

The days of the paper map are over! Welcome to the world of online maps.
