 These notes are  tips and tricks that I have found useful or
thought might be useful. <br><br>

----------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>
 For Google maps, open the app on the web. 
Single clicking puts down a flag. Another click removes it. You can easily shar by email a flagged location. 

To save a location, if it is  a town or such, you will see a box that has a SAVE option, and you can save it to a new or existing list. 
Clicking on a list brings up a map with all those lcoations flagged. 
Double clicking zooms you in and out.

 The word "site" followed by a colon enables you to restrict your search
to a specific site. <p>

admission site:stanford.edu<br><br>

 This would limit the search for "admission" to the stanford. edu site

To use Google to find street maps, enter a U.S. street address,
including zip code or city/ state (e.g. 165 University Ave Palo Alto
CA), in the Google search box. Often, the street address and city name
will be enough.<br><br>

----------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>


To see delays and weather conditions at a particular airport, type the
airport's three letter code followed by the word "airport." For example,
San Francisco International Airport updates can be found by searching
for "sfo airport."<br><br>


To check the status of a U.S. flight, type the name of the airline
followed by the flight number. For example, to see the status for United
Airlines flight 134 search for "United 134."<br><br>


weather palo alto, ca<br><br>


----------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>


  The query,  link:siteURL,
shows you pages that point to that URL. For example, link:www.google.com
will show you pages that point to Google's home page.  <br><br>
