You might remember how, on Austechwriter the other week, we were discussing the Aldi MVP lager, which sent one or two of us off in search of a liquid lunch well, I thought that I'd have a squiz at their Australian (but German hosted) Web site. Lo and behold, I found quite a remarkable little (possibly Java based) tool on there that gives you the nearest store with the kilometres to your house and can generate a printable map, with the instructions of (ahead / left / right) of how to drive there. To try this for yourself: Go to <http://australia.aldi.com/> Click Store Locations (at the bottom of the right hand list.) Type the details (suburb / town and state will do) of where you are. Click Search. What you get is a list of their stores, sorted by proximity to your home suburb, closest first, with an approximate measure of how many kilometres you need to travel to get there. You can also make their site find the easiest route to get there if you also enter your street name, or you can have it show a map of where the store is. Almost more amazing than 25 bucks for a slab of rather nice lager. Cheers, Michael Michael E. Granat "Qualified Good Tech Writer Dude" Fellowship of the Ring of Technical Writers, Yeah Baby!
