Plazes has a cool new feature called "Where is". So you can see "Where is Joi Ito?". It relies on Google maps which is a bit sketchy with addresses for Japan, but otherwise it seems to work quite well. On the other hand, it doesn't show the routing as well as the old map using IndyJunior.

joi,

if you know your geolocation, you can change it manually on your plaze´s page: http://beta.plazes.com/plaze/36a222b6cfa42f6c295b89cb9557a2bf/ by clicking "adjust" next to the lat/lon data. we´re working on a point´n´click solution using google maps right now.

cheers,
felix

Google Maps可以很准确的告诉一个人的地址，只有在日本不太精确。也许，我们就快要在自己的介绍上加上“Where am I”了。不过，如果要安排行程，Google地图可能还是比不上传统地图。 来源：W... Read More
