Google Mars

Google seem to have something up their sleeve all the time, and once more they've managed to supply people with something surprising. However, unusually for Google, that thing in the main will be useless to all but the most intrepid explorers out there.

Google Mars utilizes the simple Google Maps interface to give you a pictorial map of, well, the planet Mars. Ok, so this isn't going to make finding a hotel any easier or give you an idea how to get from the Mars icecap to the Mariner Canyon. However, after the initial buzz it will generate as people look for the various faces and canals on the red planet, it leaves one with a tantalising glimpse of the future. It may be a distant future, but who knows' maybe the next trick up their sleeves is Google Voyager, Interplanetary Holidays! For that tantalising glimpse they earn their nomination.
