It's nice, but the info for surrounding businesses is really old. It lists a Dennys that hasn't been near me in like 3 years.

Quite out of date.. I looked up my old address back home and it has no reference to any of the neighborhood that my wife grew up in less than a quarter mile from my house. The whole area is vacant. She moved in there with her family when we were about 14. :confused:

Outside of that, pretty cool.

Yes, this is great stuff. Something useful on the net is rare indeed. This, realtime library catalogues, etc.

I actually installed Java for this.:)

Some of the addresses for restaurants placed them in the wrong place, which would be confusing if you were using it to navigate...

It uses state road #'s so hard to find my house. Was able to find it anyway, but, that part of the map is incomplete. I do like the movement and zoom functions. It's got potential.
