Explore San Carlos Maps
Getting from point A to point B just got a lot easier. San Carlos Maps shows you where you want to go.
Now online maps are draggable
Maps are great for getting
around, but online maps could be a lot better. So San Carlos Maps decided to
make dynamic, interactive maps that are draggable — no clicking and waiting for
graphics to reload each time you want to view the adjacent parts of a map.
Since these maps are draggable, you can use your mouse or the directional arrows
to pan left, right, up and down to see areas that are hidden offscreen. You can
also use the slider to zoom in and zoom out.
It's like having a huge map you can scroll around in.
Locate businesses in your
neighborhood
Use San Carlos Maps to search within an area or neighborhood. It
works like this: Say you want to find a hotel. Click the FIND IN THE MAP
navigational menu located in left corner, then locate hotels, and the hotels
will appear at various location on your map.
Enjoy a view from the sky
Want to see what your target location looks like in real life? Check out our satellite view, which gives you access to satellite and aerial images of your locations that you can zoom in, zoom out, or pan in any direction. (You won't experience any long reload times when you drag images in the satellite view, either.) To access this view, click "Satellite" at the top right corner of the San Carlos Maps page. You can also choose the hybrid view, which superimposes map data–including streets, street names, and landmarks–over satellite images.
Save time with keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts are great,
and San Carlos Maps has a bunch of them. For instance, you can...
use the arrow keys to pan left, right, up and down
the shift key lets you zoom in and the ctrl key is for zooming out.
