Google Maps had been upgraded it would seem.

You can now zoom to the location indicated by the mouse pointer using your mouse scroll wheel. It happens to be the one feature i’ve been hoping for, I always found it annoying to have to use the little zoom bar.

Well done all at the labs !

You remember being a kid and wondering “if I started to dig in the garden, will I get to Australia?”

Well you can find out with this Dig a hole Google Maps application. Smart and fun use of the API!

Unfortunately, from my back garden I ended up in the ocean just off New Zealand!

1. Go to http://maps.google.co.uk/
2. Type ‘Billingley’ in the search bar and hit Enter
3. Switch to Satellite view
4. Zoom in a bit and look in the brownish field to the left (west) of the marker.
5. Now keep zooming in.
