It’s a long way to Tipperary…

But Google has directions to get you there. The Google world has become slightly larger. Today’s Google Blog entry announced the release of Google Local UK and Google Maps UK.

Some have criticized the search engine for not expanding the Maps and Local beyond North America so it’s good to see Google responding. Now it is possible to cross the Atlantic in Google Maps or Google Maps UK and discover that a new landmass has appeared. Europe, sadly, has not yet been discovered by the Google cartographers but surely that’s coming soon. They can take the Chunnel.

To get listed in Google Local UK, note that the FAQ advises submitting to Yell.com.

The Maps doesn’t yet have the Satellite integration so I won’t be caught up all day looking for Big Ben.

Sharing is caring!
