I almost expect to boot my computer one day and see the Google logo, out of nowhere. But I gotta say, their version of interactive maps is impressive, at least after a brief encounter. The directions are written and displayed more clearly than Mapquest or Yahoo!, but I'm not sure how accurate they are, yet.
From a few tests, they seem to be, but so is Mapquest sometimes, and
sometimes it's plain wrong. Time will tell. BTW, from what people are saying, this might not work in Safari (IT DOES NOT WORK YET djf), but it does work in Firefox. - jt ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
