Love Google Maps? Help Improve It With Your Suggestions

Google Maps has really come a long way since it originally launched, a really long way. The mapping tools offered by Google are not only informative but very fun to use. From street views, directions, plotting your own points, user images, wikipedia data, data overlays and much more - it is really a great tool for users.

But it can be better and Google is looking for suggestions from us.

Google Maps Guide Brian posted a thread at Google Groups asking for our feedback and suggestions. He said:

We're always interested in hearing your feedback and feature suggestions. Use this group to share your thoughts, and I, along with the rest of the Google Maps Guides, will make sure that your comments shared with the rest of the team.

If there is any feature you want, this is your time to let Google know about it. Just go to the thread, join the forum and post your two cents.

I'd like to see Google add live GPS tracking to their maps application. This would be particularly helpful when I use my cell phone for directions via Google maps.

While using gMaps with GPS tracking on my phone, it would be great to have a button to show the weather conditions. Just an on/off button to see what you're about to drive into.

Getting directions from placemarks would be very helpful. I usually create a mymap and add a number of placemarks, I then want to get directions from one to the other and I can't just type in the name of the placemark in the A and B field. I can type in the address but this is not as convenient.
