Google Maps has innovated a little after their initial release (hybrid maps, local, etc) but I have been hoping for more.
One thing that I miss from the Yahoo! side is that I can’t tell Google where I live, or other important addresses.
If I type in:
123 Main St
I want Google Maps to assume that I mean in my location, and not make me type in the city and state every time.
Is that too much to ask?
Browsers go a good job on remembering my locations, so it isn’t too bad when I have to get driving directions from home as I can type the first few keys and hunt for my address, but I want more.
Time for GreaseMonkey.

Wayfaring tries it’s best to guess your location (ok, just city) based upon your IP, so if a little site like us can do it, I would imagine Google could as well ;-)
