OK, see what you mean. I tried starting with Google Earth then going to 'Map View' and it was there. However, when I go direct into Google Maps it isn't. Always thought the two were the same. Thanks for the education.

If a company does not pay certain Tax's then what do you expect?

Fiddle tax's = fiddle customers ??
