Google had made shopping, sight-seeing and travel even easier, by making the indoor floor plans of malls, museums, libraries, transit stations and airports, worldwide, available through Google Maps. The feature, previously exclusively available through Google Maps for Android, is now available on your desktop so that it can be used by all.

Google Maps floor plans now enable users to access the floor plans of over 10,000 worldwide locations, making trip planning even easier. It is also a fantastic way for attractions, such as museums, to gain more visitors by inviting them to take a look at the floor plans ahead of time.
