A repost of my daughter’s article with permission. I added a few notes.

Google Maps is commonly used in web apps. There are two common usages of Google Maps:

  1. Detect the User’s current location

2. Validate a user-entered address

I have written one article on how to drive Google Maps address validation in Selenium WebDriver, which is quite easy to do.
