If you are planning to tour any part of the world, you have a online friend who can guide you through the main roads and streets and gullies always. All you need to do is to log into maps.google.com, and just type the area name and country name and you can drill down for street view and easily identify the shortest route to move across the entire city / town.

With Google maps, you are sure of avoiding getting exploited by local goons and you also end up planning your schedule in advance, and enjoy your foreign trip more. All the best.
