Google offers step-by-step directions for traveling between two points. Clicking on one of the steps pops up a floating bubble containing a magnified view of the area. For the time being, however, Google Maps is limited to the United States and Canada.
looks like it could be quite useful when tryin to find places...............hope they bring out a uk one soon

google owns the internet. old news is so exciting. 
just kidding.
google's target is to bring everyone what they are looking for. i guess that's what they're gonna do. cool idea to start with maps

yeh, there was some software for this out theere. not made by google. by it was so awesome. pity i cant remember the site.
anyway, it used like some satelitte or somthing if i remeber correctly.
you choose your place, and you could see everything, from people, it even worked out the angle of which hill's incline.
good idea though.

it's a good idea, but there's a lot to improve.. the searches are a bit vague imho.. well it's not 'graduated' yet, so I won't complain
it's a good idea..nice to see google expanding its area of expertise yet again
