Everyone's talking about the addition of satellite imagery.
Nobody seems to have noticed that (unlike yesterday), its world doesn't abruptly end in Labrador anymore.
The front page now centres by default on Ireland if you're coming from an obviously Irish IP address.
This, I'm told by People Who Know, is part of an ongoing integration with Whereonearth.com's data, which Yahoo bought late last year. The kicker for us is this: Whereonearth was in possession of an Irish geocoder.
It's coming. Slowly, but it's coming.
In the meantime you can still use a crude hack which gets you to within about 200 metres of your target.

Doesn't centre on the UK for UK IP addresses.
