A lot of us get where we're going by using Google Maps.

Now Google is taking its service inside some of your favorite stores and airports

Home Depot, Macy's and Ikea are among the retail giants who've partnered with Google Maps to help shoppers find what they're looking for, whether that's a different department or the nearest bathroom.

Google isn't the first company to put up maps of the inside of stores to help you get around, but some of those companies are smaller and you have to know what you're looking for and just about everyone knows how to find a Google map.

You can also use Google maps for 18 U.S. airports.

Right now, only Android users can access their indoor Google Maps.
