Yesterday I got back from my trip to St Petersburg, Russia, where I drank lots of vodka (and absinthe), ate blinkchiks and borsch, and found Jack Bauer. Apparently he is now posing as one of the Russian emperors. He was last seen hanging out in Pushkin village…
Don't believe me? Will you believe the photos?

Google Maps New Feature: Visual Route Dragging
Click this sample map and then try dragging the blue path around to create via points. You can also do the same to the start and end points. Now I feel that the Google maps are truly 21st century. Live traffic (maybe live traffic cams soon?), street view, multiple destination, dragging and zooming with the mouse… can this thing get any better?
