Microsoft Research Maps

Okay kiddo, have you ever used a map? You know, a big piece of paper or screen that shows roads, buildings, and stuff like that? Well, Microsoft Research Maps is just like a map, but on the computer!

You can use Microsoft Research Maps to look at pictures of different places in the world. It’s like having a tour of different cities and countries, without leaving your room!

You can also use it to find directions to different places. If you’re going on a trip, you can type in the address or place you want to go, and the computer will show you the way with arrows and lines, so you don’t get lost.

Microsoft Research Maps is really cool because it has a lot of information about different places. You can see pictures of the buildings, read about their history, and even find out what kind of food you can eat there!
