With a new housing estate now built, I assume that the people who live hear are going to start complaining about this 'junkyard'. >_<
Gravitron and Rainbow.
This is sweet. Today Google maps rolled out streetmaps for most of the EU. Time to crack open the API and create Paris mashups!
This maze in the UK was made to celebrate Brunel's 200th birthday. Viewed (upside down!) in Google Maps.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel was a famous British engineer.
This is "The Great E-Maze".
Strange markings on the ground. I'm thinking, alien spaceport or a sacred precinct of the Knights Templar.
Newsflash!:
Google today reveals that the Camden Town tube station has been demolished! Google maps employs sophisticated algorithms to analyse web patterns and user behaviour, allowing them to update their maps of the area to reflect reality before the news gets out on any other channels.
Residents and businesses in around Camden are today in a state of denial about the reality of the situation, as this busy transport hub has been removed. The lack of a station at this location will also mean that passengers wishing to to travel to different branches of the northern line will no longer be able to change. Choose your train wisely.
When asked to explain, a TfL spokesman also tried to deny that changes to London transport network had taken place. But there can be no cover-up of this. The truth is right there on google maps!

But seriously...
This a pretty serious navigational problem. Do you link to google maps when you email a friend with directions? Are you using google maps on your website? If you do this in the Camden area you may not be being as helpful as you thought you were. Maybe it's time to use a better map, the open licensed map from the London-born not-for-profit OpenStreetMap.
I was certain I didn't have a drinking problem in college because all my friends drank more.
Things have changed, but this is how I (vaguely) remember it.
I spent 2 years at University of Southern California, Los Angeles, doing my graduate studies. Looking back I think I must have spent 90 percent of the time in labs and libraries. I had no life besides studying, no car besides Garg's and Puri's, and no money to go out. But I think I had the best time of my life there!
The holiest mosque of Islam, the Masjid al-Haram is where all Muslims face when saying their daily prayers.
The Masjid al Haram houses the Black Stone in that structure you see in the center, called the Kaaba or square house. This is the focal point of the hajj -- a pilgrimage expected to be taken to Mecca and to the Masjid al Haram at least once in the lifetime of each Muslim.
The satellite images in Google Maps allows everyone to see right down into the Masjid al-Haram, even though it's off-limits to non-Muslims.
