fluffymarkOh dearie me, nobody should have let a map obsessive like me find this:
Go to Google Map and scroll east lots - there are now maps of the UK and Ireland! Yaaaaaay. Everything bar North America and the British Isles has sunk like atlantis. Is most odd. And being google, you can search for cities, and roads, postcodes, and even travel routes, including ferries (e.g. London to Belfast) *impressed*. The channel tunnel is there, but as France isn't, it doesn't work very well. It refuses to give directions to Manchester, which is very sensible of it. Satellite view reveals the missing rest of the world, but all the cities outside North America have mysteriously turned invisible.
*playswithnewtoy* Yay maps!! *bounce* *bounce*
