San Francisco to Paris

Good to know they still have a sense of humor. See for yourself!

The recent upgrades to Google Maps are quite good! I like the subtle light building outlines now in the plain Map view, and the new Traffic overlay is real useful.

Interestingly enough, Japan’s maps look quite a bit better than ours, with location icons and other neat options we don’t see on our maps. Any idea if this kind of thing is coming to US maps anytime soon?
