But all I told it was "London". So it must be able to tell where you are from your internet connection. (sorry if that's old news, I didn't know they could do that)

That could actually be quite bad if you lived somewhere small so the location was pretty precise.
Thats an interesting point.
I live in an area that has a collective name (loads of smaller towns)
Its put me in an area quite away from where I live, its actually an old map as my house/road is not even on the map. The house is 3 years old and the road about five.

The area where I live (town) is named but not selectable.

I still find it very interesting, looks like the same technology/ map set as Google earth.
