Unbelievable! I have heard a lot of buzz about google maps lately, and my partner used it a week ago to downloaded directions from Hawthorn to Venus Bay, but I haven't used the site myself. Many years ago someone showed me a satellite view of my house on a mobile phone, so I knew that such imagery was out there, I just haven't sought it out. I completed the exercise of finding my house and getting directions from home to work. I checked out the photos of the route too. A picture tells a thousand words, no excuse for getting lost if you have this on your mobile phone!
I wonder about the self editing capabilities of Google maps, to some extent you rely on others to enter the data correctly, which must leave plenty of room for error.
I read the wikipedia Google info, future generations will only know our planet as Google Earth..... Its a Google take over.
