Today we're pleased to announce the full launch of

href="http://maps.google.co.nz/" >Google Maps in New
Zealand. Although we've offered basic mapping in New
Zealand for some time, today we're unveiling a localised and
customised site for our users in New Zealand. We've added full
local business search capabilities, plus the href="http://www.google.com/local/add/lookup?hl=en-AU&gl=NZ"
>Local Business Centre, so that any Kiwi
business can get a free listing.

While we know New Zealanders care about a lot more than rugby,
racing and beer, we're pleased that now Google Maps can help
you find the nearest place to do any of those things. Plus, you can
find a

>hotel for your next holiday. All available on
a PC or

>mobile phone near you!

And of course, Kiwis can also use Google Maps to look up an
address, get

>driving directions (and the ability to drag
them around), browse our satellite imagery, and even create custom
maps that you can share with friends, all using the simple
interface.
