Google Maps down under
February 5, 2007
Posted by Noel Gordon, Software Engineer
Many Australians have used our maps and satellite images, so today we're especially excited to launch
Google Maps Australia
. We've expanded service to include Australian business listings, driving directions, and support for Google Mobile Maps in Australia.
The next time you're looking for an
address
,
tiger meat pie in Sydney
,
cafes in Melbourne
, or how to
get to the beach
, Google Maps can help you find the answer. If you're at your computer, go to
http://maps.google.com.au
and start searching -- you can type addresses or business searches like [
cricket near melbourne
] all into the same search box. If you want to access Google Maps on your mobile device, go to
http://www.google.com/gmm
from your Java- enabled phone or Palm device to get started.
A good part of the Google Maps team works out of our Sydney R&D center, and we're really pleased to offer the full functionality of Google Maps to everyone down under. Please
let us know what you think
