Hi

Quickly looking at the LargeMap you're linking to.. What's the problem you're trying to solve? What's the benefit of using this as compared to normal Google maps?

For me, it starts showing London. If I scroll and zoom in to my area and click one of the "Show nearest", it's still showing 'generic central London' spots, rather than where I've zoomed. Looks like this feature has been lost in your tool.

If I type my postcode in, first thing I see is that weather results are not available. Weather results aren't that specific, so I'd think that the weather result for Westminster would qualify for Shoreditch too.

I get some "MSN Web" results, but apart from the 1st one (which is yellow page type page for a company on my street) I can't see how these results are related to this area.

If it's clearer what the benefits of using this tool would be, perhaps you'd get more feedback.
