Google Maps

In my spare time I make Google Maps. Fun little things. I decided to share with all of you, every map I've made. At least the ones I've not deleted. I commit, however, that I've not deleted any maps within the past 12 hours.

Since the internet is being utterly non-co-operative at the moment, I may edit this post to add more and more maps. I will, at the end, have them all up.

The titles of many of these maps explain what they are. More info though for some others.
