Walter's Comments

This is not a fancy hotel but it is central and it is inexpensive. I recommend it because it is clean. In walking distance, by the sea, you will find one of my favorites Dinner restaurants: "COCODY". Try to sit out in the garden!!! Heading in the opposite direction, you can walk to the famous shopping circle Ave. Santiago Marino.

Panning can also be achieved by holding down the left mouse button and using the mouse to drag the map left, right, up and down.

Basically, Google Maps lets you view a map of the world through a viewing area. To see more or less of the map in the view screen you need to zoom out or zoom in. The panning buttons allow you to move the map under the viewing area. If you want to look closer at a particlular area then you will want to use the panning buttons so that the desired location is centered in the viewing area and then Zoom In.

Earth - Google Earth functionality

Map, Sat and Ter modes are simple to use and quite useful. Earth mode is similar to Sat in they both use satellite images but thats where the similarity end. Earth mode, if you are not familar with the Google Earth application, can be a little bit tricky. Not only can you zoom in, zoom out and pan you can also spin the map around or view from an angle. The reason for all this functionality is that you are you are looking at a globe rather than a standard flat map. If you zoom out far enough you can see the entire earth and you can spin it around. If you like this then I highly recommend downloading the Google Earth application. Its fascinating, its fun and best of all its FREE!
