[WEB4LIB] Google Maps UK

[Steve Newman]

I see that if you use http://maps.google.co.uk  there is no link to
satellite pictures. If you use http://maps.google.com there is a link,
albeit not at the same zoom level for the UK as that available for the
majority of the USA.

For those of you who can't believe that Heathrow Airport is so far out  
of London central, here is proof:

<http://maps.google.co.uk/maps? 
q=London+Heathrow+Airport,+Middlesex,+UB3+5AP&ll=51.477539, 
-0.312121&spn=0.656250,0.672030&hl=en>

You guessed it, as seen on Peter Scott's Library Blog  
<http://blog.xrefer.com/>, Google Maps UK is now available. I can  
hardly wait for Google Maps Crete.
