Click on the Link button top right of the map, that will give you the URL for the place you've zoomed into

Nope - Google maps is a bit naff in that you can't use the URL in the address bar, as that stays the same as the link given originally. You need to click the Link button as I highlighted above.


(well, a bit unfair as it would be shifting every time you moved the map)

Anyway, all the alternate posts are for other funny place names but people haven't clicked the Link button

You miserable bugger, go and read your thread from earlier

The fact it has failed, makes it more ammusing.

Which is exactly what I did, that's why my link works.

My point was
Nat said it was Fanny Lane so didn't see the hands
5t pointed out there was a Fanny Hands lane near doncaster, this is it so he can't have seen it.

Hence the blind comment

<< closest smilie for blind.

How could you drive past it? Surely you'd have to stop for a look?? Peer through the foliage...?

Theres only one Letsby Avenue in the country. Its a short link built to the South Yorkshire police control centre alongside Sheffield city airport. Someone thought that they were funny...
