This is a response post to a post written by Mike at What Some Would Call Lies.

Mike doesn’t think that using “Google It” works for the mapping functionality that Google provides through their Google Maps product. I disagree. As you can see by the examples below, you can “Google” an address and get the map (as well as a field for getting driving directions to the location you just Googled).

Google Maps 1

Google Maps 2

In my opinion, “Google It” works as a mapping verb as well as a general searching/research verb.
