Those wacky folks at Google are at it again.
Take a trip over to maps.google.com
Click on the 'Get Directions' tab
Type in any address or city in North America, then type any address or city in the UK
Take a read through the directions and check out the longest part of the journey. |

They've just made the UK street maps available, and it's really good.
http://maps.google.co.uk - it's weird to see the outside of my house like that... |

| I went to check an old girlfriend's house - to see if it had burnt down or something equally unpleasant. No luck! |

Google cheat view
In frame ... Street View spots sex shop customer
A FURIOUS wife has called in divorce lawyers after spotting her husband’s car parked outside another woman’s house — on Google.
She saw the Range Rover while using the internet giant’s new Street View service to snoop on a female friend’s home.
The hubby had claimed he was away on business, but his missus recognised his motor immediately because of its blinged-up hubcaps.
The love cheat is not the only husband trapped by Google’s controversial new 360-degree photo search which covers 25 cities and towns throughout the country.
Top media lawyer Mark Stephens said: “I was talking about the Range Rover case when another divorce lawyer came up to say his firm was dealing with the same sort of thing. People are getting caught out on Google.
“I suspect the husband’s lawyers will claim it was an invasion of privacy that will cost him his marriage and Range Rover.”
Street View has triggered a stream of complaints from people caught on camera since its launch on March 20.
Google removed some images — including a man sheepishly leaving a sex shop. An office worker was also caught having a crafty cigarette by a No Smoking sign.
And yesterday The Sun told how a fleet of UFOs was spotted on Street View hovering over an East London bookies. |
