Guv just had a look, and i think it is still ok with a bit of messing. as soon as you enter the site you are in the edit box. type in your search term for example "indian restaurants in london victoria" and it will find indian restaurants in the victoria area in london (that is around SW1). is that the sort of thing your wanting to be able to do? the list appears in a single column down the lefthand side of the page. hope this helps. take it easy. nathan ----- Original Message ----- From: Damon To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, February 03, 2006 8:20 PM Subject: [access-uk] Google Local now inaccessible! I am hoping beyond hope that I am wrong on this one. I am really quite angry and my blood is boiling. Google Local, a service that I loved and used often, now appears to be inaccessible. I've tried several ways into it but there is no longer an accessible search box on the page. Say hello to dragging maps. Please, someone else try it and tell me I'm wrong. http://www.google.co.uk/lochp?hl=en much love ...Damon
