8-bit Google Maps (for NES?)
« on: March 31, 2012, 05:39:21 pm »


It actually works -- go to Google Maps and click the Quest button in the top-right corner. (It even does 8-bit Street View!)

EDIT: Or try this: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?t=8&msa=0&msid=112511971366097304570.000491e09377a0b196972

Or maybe via the yellow wifi module (problems: it is yellow and not everyone owns one).
Or maybe a mad coder could hack it to the root and implement a map in it (not reasonnably doable, I guess)
