About Google LocalSometimes the information you are looking for is related to a particular place – like the all-night chemist that is nearest to your house. Google Local locates neighbourhood stores and services by searching billions of pages across the Web, then cross-checking those results with Yellow Pages data to pinpoint the local resources you want to find. This innovative approach gives you access to the most – and most relevant – results for your search.
You can access Google Local search results in two ways:
* From the Google homepage: Simply include either a town name or postcode with your search terms. Relevant local business listings will appear at the top of the page next to a Google Local compass icon.
* From the Google Local homepage: Enter your desired business category (such as "romantic restaurants") in the "What" field and your town name or postcode in the "Where" field, then click "Google Search." Relevant local business listings and a map of their locations will appear on the page. To narrow your search area, click a distance value in the top right corner of the page.
And because Google is slightly barmy - and because it can - it is not just Earth maps that are available: why not try Google Moon.
Zoom in to the lunar landing sites, or just zoom in as far as you can go to see if the rumours are true...
