Chapter 5 – Leo helps his mum with Google Maps

Chapter 5 – Leo helps his mum with Google Maps
Leo is at home after his visit to Sunny Town. He is sitting in the living room with his tablet. His mum comes into the room with her phone.

— Leo, can you help me?
— Of course, Mum. What’s the problem?

His mum shows him her phone.

— I need to go to a museum in Sunny Town tomorrow. But I don’t understand Google Maps.

Leo smiles.

— Don’t worry! I can help you.

They open Google Maps on the phone.

— Look, Mum. This is the map.
— Oh! I see the streets and the buildings.

Leo points to a blue dot.

— This blue dot is our location.
— So the blue dot shows where we are?
— Yes, exactly!

His mum looks at the screen again.

— And what is this little picture?

Leo taps the screen.

— That is the search bar. You can write the place you want to go.

His mum types.

— M…u…s…e…u…m. Museum!

Suddenly a red mark appears on the map.

— Oh! What is that red mark?

Leo explains.

— That is a pin. The pin shows the destination.

His mum nods.

— I understand. The pin is the place we want to go.

Leo taps another button.

— Now press Directions.

Lines appear on the map.

— Wow! What are these lines?

— These are the routes. Google Maps shows the best way.

His mum looks closer.

— And what does this blue line mean?

— The blue line is the best route.

His mum smiles.

— This is very helpful!

Leo points again.
