> good idea, and one worth accomplishing.

> To that end, we put together an online petition to ask Google and the
> Google Maps team to have a look at implementing this feature. We would
> love it if you would consider signing the petition.

> We also put together a companion website to help keep everyone
> informed, to explore ideas, etc.

> I have a strong feeling thatthereare tens of thousands, if not
> millions, of us who would very much like to see this feature added to
> Google Maps, butthereis no combined/directed expression of support
> being shown - it's just so many people's voices dispersed all over the
> globe. The petition hopes to bring us all together - virtually - to
> help show Google and the Google Maps team that we think this feature
> would be a tremendous benefit to each of us personally, and to society
> as a whole.

> Thank you very much for your help in signing and spreading the word!
