Things I'd like google maps to do
Radius - I'd like to say "100 mile radius of London" and have it draw a big circle on the map. Or "100 foot radius of [my ex's house]" and likewise draw a circle. That'd be handy. Not often, obviously.

On my way - rather than say, "post offices near [somewhere]" I want to say "directions from Point A to Point B via a post office" or get directions from point A to point B and then have it flag post offices near my route.

Or petrol stations or sex shops or whatever, it doesn't have to be post offices, obviously.

What would you like google maps to do?

People finder
I put in a person's name, it it locates them just from the top of their head.

Those are good ideas though. E-mail them to google, and they might well put them in.

I'd like street view to scroll nicely

and also I'd like it to show public transport info like tfl.

Overlay crime statistics so that you can see which alleyways you are most likely to be stabbed/raped/offered drugs or sex in.

Be 3d.

Have live traffic infomation so the journey is relevent to the time of day and or accidents that have just happened.

Show me driving times, cycling times, walking times and hoverboard times. (I watched BTTF II the other day)

Basically they have masses of opportunities...
