Google Maps is a popular mapping website you can use to find directions or view a map of a location. If you have a free Google account, you can log in and create custom maps, save driving directions, and retrieve maps and directions for which you have searched in the past.

Go to the Google Maps website. Click the "Sign In" link in the upper-right corner of the page. Sign in using your Google username and password.

Click the small gray arrow just to the right of the "Search Maps" box.

Select an address or location from the drop-down list that appears. If the map that you want to retrieve is not listed in the drop-down list or if you want to edit a location, click "Edit Saved Locations" at the bottom of the list.

Click an address or location in the Google Maps "Web History" list for your account to retrieve the map for that location.
