All of the middle east is covered with road information except Israel: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=israel True, it's not as full as many other places (Brazil, New-Zealand, to name some "obvious" leaders) but you can find details about the tiny alleys of Cairo, for instance. </rant mode> (In case anyone got it wrong - this is nothing to do with Meir's work, it's more about frustration with the stupid government we have than anything else). --Amos
