    Many websites out there have maps, and driving instructions and the like, but Google has taken it all they way. They have satellite maps now.

    Check it out here.

    Google seem to have a thumb in many pies. Mark my words - within ten years we'll be drinking Google Beer from a Google Glass while watching Googleball on Googlevision.

    Chev, that's wünderbahr... Google in LATIN. *snicker*. And to think I will be taking a test in Latin tomorrow... Yay! Random! (oh wait, this isn't RBT). Also, I wouldn't mind GoogleBeer, and Googleball'd DEFINITELY be good.

    There are maps for Canada too.

    Personally, I like Google better in Klingon. :borg:

    Actually, I liked the Swedish Chef version better but it doesn't seem to be there anymore. :(

    Hmm, that's strange - I wonder why my bookmark stopped working? Oh well, as long as the Swedish Chef version is still there I can't complain. :)
