Streetmap, an Internet maps provider similar to Google Maps, claims that Google’s "cynical manipulation of search results” has resulted in its products becoming “harder to find," Bloomberg reported. In addition to a similar suit that took place in Brazil last fall, Google is currently being investigated by the European Union over it controversial search practices.

Sounds idiotic to Google 'Streetmap' when there's Google maps.

It can be fun.  Their camera caught my neighbor talking on his cell while standing in his driveway.  I will have to print that pic as I think they (gasp!) don't have computers.
