Eastenders to use Google style maps (Downtime)

Eastenders to use Google style maps

The popular TV series which outlines the joyful lives of the inhabitants of a fictional part of East London is to start using Google-like maps on its title sequence.

The opening sequence of Eastenders is a view of London from above. This will now use Google style graphics to cheer depressed watchers up.

Downtime thinks Eastenders felt it had to embrace web 2.0 after being side stepped by Google when it decided that soap opera rival Coronation Street, which outlines the joyful lives of inhabitants of the North West, was chosen as the first fictional place to be featured on Google Street View.
