Cool new features in Google Maps

Google is just after releasing some cool new features for Google Maps, which will allow people to upload their photos, videos and custom maps.
The way it works is that you type in a location name and there's a link labelled "Explore this area >>" on the left hand side, which will show you thumbnails of available photos, videos and custom maps. As always you can drag and zoom your way around the main map screen, but now you can click on any of the thumbnails on it to bring up a pop-up box with more information about them. As ever Google comes up with some pretty cool stuff, so check out the new Google Maps.
