You know what an amazing tool is to help current writers and hardly gets used? Besides editing, that is. Google maps! Like a lot of people, going outside of your hometown is expensive and it’s hard to travel so most writers use the media (movies, books, tv, news, etc) for their worldly experiences. Using maps (street view is my favorite), you can get a feel for a place you wouldn’t get from a movie (especially since most places aren’t even shot in the city/state/country they’re in) and it’ll give your story a more realistic view.
