I have used other online maps before and I must say that even though they were easy to use, I would get lost about 50% of the times I use the other sites. With Google map I feel confident that I am getting directions that will take me to my destination. Another big plus to using google maps is the Satellite View. This added feature is great since you can see a real picture of your surrounds that perfectly puts you at the exact locating of your destination. This is a another must try from Google. First timers will be really fascinated with Satellite feature.
