O.P. The beauty of Google Maps
I was bored a bit ago, so I was looking around various things to do in the Chicago area (I will be there in April :wink:), so I decided to check out the street view feature because I usually just use WL Maps to do locations and directions, etc. So I zoomed into my grandma's house, and sure enough my car is in the driveway. I'm astonished, I was not aware that Google Maps did this sort of thing.

The street image was from July of 2007 whilst we were up there, my windows are now tinted :p.

Lookie:

Never, ever doubt the power of Google Maps.  Haha, I looked mine up too and it is kinda freaky to see that this giantic camera car thing was in my complex.

Google Maps is even more handy on my iPod Touch. It's pretty creepy that it can actually locate me withing 30 meters of accuracy using wifi :dodgy: ("Locate Me" feature). Plus after that, I can search for say "Sushi" and it will list all the stuff around my place. Really handy when you are thinking of something to do, on your feet.

P.S. Open wifi hotspots are awesome :).

They won't have these features in Europe as it will violate many European countries' privacy laws.

But this is just another example of Google World Domination BETA.
