Google Maps UK

Links, 19th April

Wahey! At last Google have released Google Maps UK. I’m honoured that we’re the first European country to get the maps treatment. Now they just need to integrate the UK satellite data from keyhole :)

I think their map rendering algorithm must have struggled a bit with our wacky non-grid like roads. I still like the style of the maps and the interface is just genius. I atttempted to use multimap the other day and was totally stuck when I couldn’t drag the map around. Google must have some mighty clever DOM gurus working for them.
