Yea but I've never understood the language they use, like what even is a line?

So, imagine the open sea as a plane, or a flat surface. On Google Maps, this would just be the world.
Mkay.

When Google Maps is telling you to go in a direction, it's telling you to move in a line, or a one-dimensional length across a plane.
So when Google Maps tells you to move in a direction, it's telling you to follow a line across a plane to try to help you reach your destination, which is another point somewhere in the plane.
What does that have to do with anything?
Ohh that makes a lot more sense! Thanks!
Yea your welcome! Just remember Google Maps is just all about lines, points, and planes.
And by the way, you're about 1000 miles away from the harbor.
Lines... points... planes... yea I got it. I can finally use Google Maps now!

Where you start in Google Maps is a point, or a single spot on this plane.
Just be patient.
