Google Maps and Bing Maps
You may search for nearby vendors for things / services to buy using maps. For instance if you want to hire housemaids, Ayahs, semi qualified nurses, bedside assistants and the like you get info about hiring agencies while searching maps. Both Bing and Google are good at trapping neighbourhood service providers.
When you see the list of vendors you may like to print out a list with or without locations in the map. Bing gives an option to print only the text (no map) but Google always insists on printing with map included. By 'printing' you may save the results as a pdf, not necessarily output on paper in a printer.
Once you have chosen a vendor you can find out the path to reach him from your house, using various means like walking, biking, cab / car, public bus etc - knowing approx time it may take.
In fact I have walked my way to meeting locations using the map on my mobile as a guide, during pre-covid days. How many of you are comfortable using maps?
