No More Whereis For Me
The range of [Sensis](http://www.sensis.com.au) sites have been driving me crazy for as long as I've been forced to use them. They provide White Pages, Yellow Pages, and Whereis - all directories that are sometimes unavoidable. Their sites are slow, inaccurate and all-up pretty horrible.
The great news is that I can now ditch one of their sites, [Whereis](http://www.whereis.com.au) because Google has now come to the rescue. For a long time the big G has provided mapping services for the US and Europe. Now they've got Australian maps online. You can type in a vague search query, such as [Parliament House, Perth](http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=parliament+house,+perth&sll=-32.05208,115.7971&sspn=0.010676,0.014849&ie=UTF8&z=16&om=1&iwloc=addr) and it will take you right there. Furthermore, it will provide you with directions to and from another location should you so desire. You can also overlay Google's satellite imagery if you want to see what the terrain is like.
So I recommend that you do as I have done - forget about Whereis and start using [maps.google.com.au](http://maps.google.com.au) for your directions!
