...but if you want to poke about inside the newly-spectacular Google Maps, I've once again been doing my job as "that foreign guy with the map stuff".

In ascending order of interest:

1. 377 Blarney Street, Cork
2. 300 Blarney Street, Cork which, excitingly, is a different map point
3. 64 Blarney Street, which is positioned very incorrectly. Possibly because this street's numbering goes uphill from 1 westward and then comes back downhill from about 200 eastward.
4. "Pizza" near here, small result set and a little bit wonky
5. "Cork Overview", which looks a bit like a bunch of community layers from Google Earth imported into Gmaps
6. Pizza again, but on a much wider view. Including this so you can see the KMZ-labelled links, which give a clue of how this work-in-progress is being constructed. "GE45" looks like an aggregated view for a map grid.

This would be big news, so I'm going to hold off on the "about bloody time" comments for today. Well done, Google - now let's follow through and release it, eh?
