How about a little IP geolocation action? The UK isn't exactly a day trip for me.

  Also in complaints: do not break Maps's scroll-zoom for me. Unforgivable UI design.

    Or at least give the option not to break it. Scroll-zoom drives me crazy - the slightest touch causes the map to either zoom in fully, or out too far (I wish all websites that used maps gave me the option to turn it off).

      Indeed. This is my major gripe with Google Maps. IMHO, forced scroll-zoom is a broken UI mechanism.

      This is actually a wider problem than just scroll-zoom. Using JS to hook scrolling to anything is a UX nightmare. The problem is that on my desktop I can discretely scroll one step at a time with my mouse but on a laptop using a trackpad a scroll ends up firing dozens of events. This discrepancy basically bars scrolling from having any use on the web besides, well, scrolling.

    Seconded, this is truly awful. Navigating the map instantly becomes a chore.
