It clutches the whole screen and it quickly becomes chaotic when you have several links listed underneath each other.<\/del><\/p>\n<p><del datetime=\"2011-06-30T14:05:42+00:00\">There&#8217;s a way to get short URLs on Google Maps. Go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.googlelabs.com\/\">http:\/\/www.googlelabs.com\/<\/a>, select &#8220;Labs voor Google Maps&#8221; on the right and enable &#8220;Short URL&#8221;.<\/del><\/p>\n<p><del
