Google maps is fucking brilliant
I never bother with any other map sites now. Google maps has the entire fucking world, so far as I can tell. It's almost like Google Earth in a way, you can zoom out to look at the world if you want, center it where you want and then zoom in. Type where you want in the box and it finds it. It knows everything!

Google are bent on world domination, it seems. Unlike Microsoft, though, Google appear to be achieving their monopoly just by having the best damn stuff there is! :thumbsup:
