interesting product - I've seens raves about Google Map but when I checked it
out a while back I think it only covered the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place

<br>
This product does cover <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Australia</st1:place></st1:country-region>:<br>

the forum contains an educational section but the answer to the following
question was a bit cryptic:<br>

Investigate our educational programs for what may be unexpected generosity.
