Car 54 Where Are You?

Google has just announce a new map resource – Google Maps. It can be found on their “technology playground” page where they have project prototypes that are not quite ready for “prime time.”

BTW – in case you are not familiar with “Car 54 Where Are You?” it was a TV show back in the 60’s
