Townlands on Google Maps

Apologies if this has been reported before now . . .

If you enter the name of a townland, its boundaries are highlighted for you.  Very useful indeed.

I haven't checked everywhere, but it does appear to be throughout the 26 counties.  Not for Northern Ireland, sadly.

If the townland name is the same as, say, a modern town or village then it doesn't pick up that you wanted this townland feature rather than the standard location function.  So, if the name includes something like "Upper", be sure to enter the full thing.
