Google maps Australia

Joshua Gans and Andrew Leigh have got into it and (ever the late adopter) I had to give it a try. Google Maps Australia is a useful, fun way of looking at Australia and for devising travel routes.

Update: A useful help site is here while a site for reprting problems is here.

Unfortunately, Google Maps Australia has been found to be highly inaccurate.

pflodo, In view of your post I will treat this software with caution. But I tried a Melbournre-Sydney trip and a Melbourne-Uluru trip that worked out very accurately.

I'll poke around some more.
