Incidentally, I was wondering if anyone else is getting “Googlemap Wrist Syndrome” like me. I was surfing around about an hour yesterday in the godforsaken plains of Nebraska/Kansas/Oklahoma looking for something interesting when I noticed my wrist really started to hurt. I use the computer quite a bit, but usually am not bothered by carpal tunnel or any wrist problems. I dunno, it’s the repetition I think. I don’t do a lot of gaming involving the mouse either, so maybe that’s why this seemed unusual.
Actually, I would really like to be able to control the scrolling of the googlemap with my mind. Yeah. Attach some electrodes. That would be ideal. Someone needs to invent that, like, tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, see ya all then.

Not sure if you know, but you can use the arrows on your keyboard to move around.
And to those that don’t know, to center on an area, double click the spot and it will zoom to the precise center, even if you are zoomed all the way out.
ps- I have you linked on my site, hope you can do the same.

also, If you have firefox, decrease the text on the page to the smallest, and the map gets larger horizontally. better than IE.
