I thought I was watching a movie of my hometown street. Granted I couldn't see the ficus tree or the old battered gate on the lawn, but I could see more than I thought I would. --Congrats with the updates When I first started using Google Maps I was completely utterly amazed.

That's impressive. gmap-pedometer.com is one of the original Google Maps mashups, and probably still the most popular. A great site which has inspired many others, including mine. http://veloroutes.org is a Google Maps mashup geared toward cyclists, but it can be used for walking routes too. Also lets you export your route as KML, which can be viewed in Google Earth. Wow, Matt, a seven mile walk?! That’s impressive.

It would be absolutely fantastic if google managed to licence proper maps (e.g. Ordnance Survey in UK) - I'd spend the next month doing cool things with API. Any chance do you think that Google will ever include proper detailed mapping of the countryside in the Maps product? Hi Matt,

I recently visited Seattle and realized how complicated a public transit system can be, referring to the buses, I grew up in Boston, where you had colors not numbers. Red Line, Green line, Blue line and Orange line. Very simple, and if you missed your stop you just went to the next one and went back, not with a bus system where you where SOL!! Living in Montana now, where the public transit is just a few buses, for a total of 12 routes, Seattle seemed like a it is worthy of a transit system messed up with the map system. Once they can do real time bus maps I will consider going back to Seattle.
