Have you ever needed to quickly find location of some specific business or outlet close to you, but after searching through their website, all you found is some obscure list of addresses, and to successfully pick the most convenient & closest outlet you got to be either a geographic genius of the specific area, or simply very lucky?

In this time and age, Internet is the primary source of information and so many business interactions happen online, some companies tend to forget that their customers might need to actually physically find them. And that is a real shame, for not only it makes you lose customers, but also because there is a good and (the best feature of them all) free tool out there for it – called Google Maps.

According to some prognosis, by year 2013, mobile phones will overtake PCs as the most common web access device worldwide. That means businesses will (or at least should) start requiring their websites and web services to become mobile-friendly, and in turn, we developers have to be prepared for it and know exactly what are the means of achieving it and different paths than can be taken.
