Google Maps Mania: Big News: Google Maps street maps for ALL of Europe!

Some loyal Google Maps Mania readers have tipped me off on some big news in the world of Google Maps - Street maps for all of Europe! What a surprise people will have when they wake up on Tuesday morning! Not only are street level maps now available (in addition to the satellite maps available previously) but so are driving directions! Google Maps Mania is about to erupt with more new mashups to come from this area of the world! :)Help spread the word of this new data and Digg this story! Update: Check the comments section for more information about the updated street map data in various parts of Europe as observed by many readers.[Thanks to Ted, Frank, Stefan and Hermann-Marcus for the tip!]

Not all of Europe, really. My personal overview, at first sight. The following countries well covered, at first sight: Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, DenmarkPerhaps not so well covered, but reaching the whole territory: Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Norway, Sweden, FinlandPartially: Greece (Athens OK, but limited detail in other areas), Istanbul area in Turkey, Moscow in Russia.Just some road lines over "white" land: Belarus (road to Moscow), Serbia, Macedonia.Roadmaps and streetplans also show in mashups using the API v.2.

I've tried it for my hometown, Gent, Belgium, but the level of detail is not yet sufficient. Only the main roads are there. Cheers,
