Google Maps bits found around the blogsphere

Here are some random, and interesting Google Maps bits I've found around the blogsphere over the past week or so.. Mr. Vidmar over at Bite my Bytes recently noted that Google Maps had quietly added Slovenia, albeit with mixed resolutions. [via] This Kuwait-based blogger has pointed out an interesting site on the coast of Kuwait. You be the judge of what is flowing into the sea! If you're interested in the intricacies of how Google Maps tiles are displayed, you best read this [via]. This post is not recommended if you haven't had your morning coffee. Finally, Google Maps has given some interesting directions for a Google Maps user from a location in the U.S. to Vancouver, Canada. Maybe the computer providing the directions was thinking the same thing as these guys were.. ;)
