Take a look if you've seen http://look.fo and http://str8.to. Well done, again :) Well done; I worked on a similar service not long ago, but for googling rather than google-mapping something.

And mapof.it/gloucester still puts the city in entirely the wrong place - Google are such a bunch of muppets. :) I used to do something similar with the Waterscape mapping - www.waterscape.com/Charlbury/map would look up Charlbury in the place database, then produce a map centred on that. Sadly Waterscape has changed since I left and the same URL is now http://www.waterscape.com/in-your-area/oxfordshire/charlbury/map, which isn't quite so easy to type. Lovely!
