“As of today, new detailed maps of many South African cities and towns, including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth and East London, are accessible on Google Maps through any web browser or via Google Maps for Mobile on data enabled handsets. Although already available in South Africa, the map data has been improved dramatically and is now available with additional features. In addition to searching online Maps, Google Maps users will now be able to find businesses and check driving directions. Businesses will be able to add their own business listings for free via Google Maps Local Business Centre.
The map data includes a substantial amount of user generated content provided via Google Map Maker as well as thousands of business listings for South African cities.” Blah blah blah….
What the hell, let’s go check out the changes… maps.google.co.za.
Oh, and they have a “Google Maps stalker mode” too…
