Google Maps: printing directions!

 This launched a while ago, but I used it again today and found it so awesome (again) that I had to say something. Printing driving directions on Maps used to be not so good... people would actually Ctrl-P the main map view instead of clicking on the "Print" link at the top-right.

Now, the "Print" link takes you to this page where you can customize how each step of the driving directions is printed: in plain text, with a mini map of that turn, or with a street view picture. You can also choose to have a large map of the overall route at the top. Each map (the big one and the little ones) can be zoomed and panned around, just like maps.google.com.

I should find the person who implemented this and give them a hug.

And since you work at Google, you are well equipped with the ability to locate and deliver said hugs.  That's power.
