Open up Google Maps with these Features in the Secret Garden
      #393728 - Wed May 07 2008 06:55 PM

You don't have to download Google Earth to play around with the goodies and Mashups on offer on the links there
The Google Maps link can do just as well.But how do you find these features on its page
It is well hidden .But here are the Instructions of how to enter the Secret Garden.
1) Open Google Maps off the Google home page
2) Locate the 2 Tabs Below the Search Box
3) Click on the "My Maps" Tab
3a) This brings up a small selection of things to try on the Next page
But as a certain Jimmy Cricket would say "Come here...and theres more!"
4) Confused ? How do you get more?..Look up under the My Maps Tab and Click on the Link "Browse the Directory"
NOTE No Link posted as it runs to 225 Characters and may be keyed to this computer
Here is it stripped down to the Basic form
http://maps.google.com/ig/directory ( NOTE-2 different page layouts) The Other Link is more comprehensive Do Try both!
5) Behold the Secret Garden.Have Fun Unknown how many pages deep they go
