<p>In the late hours of March 12, 2003, I climbed aboard a borrowed snowmobile in Nome, Alaska, and headed out of town into the darkness, subzero temperatures, and 50 mph gusts of blowing snow along a poorly marked trail. My goal was to make it to the final checkpoint of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, which was 22 miles from the finish line in downtown Nome. My plan was to file a report for my radio station via satellite phone as the leading musher left the checkpoint and then dash back to Nome to catch him as he crossed the finish line. </p><p> What actually happened was that I became disoriented in the white-out conditions and endless snowdrifts. I took a wrong turn onto the frozen sea ice of the far northern Pacific, made a panicked 180-degree turn, and then came within a few feet of running over the leading dog team with the snowmobile. </p><p> Which brings me to Google Maps. I don't think it's a coincidence that since it has become possible to navigate almost anywhere via Maps on my Android phone, I haven't suffered from another case of frostbite like I did that night in Nome. (This snowbound picture of me, by the way, was not snapped that fateful night; though, it is from that same winter in Alaska). </p><p> Ten years later, I looked up the Iditarod Trail route on Google Maps and Google Earth. If I had been able to access such a tool on my phone that night in Nome, I would have known that part of the trail runs along the edge of the Bering Sea, and I wouldn't have freaked out and taken off in the direction of the only light in my field of vision -- which happened to be attached to the head of musher Robert Sorlie. (His dogs, running in front of his sled, were not wearing lights -- hence, they nearly ended up under my snowmobile skis.) </p><p> While it's true that I was much younger -- and more stupid -- 10 years ago, I'd like to think that if Google Maps had been around back then that I would have taken one look at the route and turned my attention to Yelping about Nome's surprising abundance of fine pizza establishments instead. </p><p> Regardless, my travels are now more well-informed and, therefore, safer, which is why my whole family is very thankful for Google Maps. </p><p> --<a href="http://www.cnet.com/profile/ericcmack/">Eric Mack</a>, Crave writer </p>
