I know that it has always been an amazing thing that Google has that wonderful little street view as component of Google maps. Figuring that there was just a magic fairy sprinkling bits of magic every where to make it just appear like that. But, no there is a lot of work behind this and here is a little animated video from Google showing how it happens.

Google has recently released that they have integrated a flu search into Google Maps. During the mass hysteria of the search for places giving out standard flu and H1N1 shots, Google has improvised a new way to figure out where to go.
If you would like to search for a place that contains the shots go to http://www.google.com/flushot and search for your area. They have adorable little shot pictures that act as markers for the places that have them and show you which shot that they are administering. Here is an example shot of the map in Atlanta, Ga.
