It would be a drop in the bucket for Google to pay to clean up Hangar One at Moffett Field...and they could slap a big Gooooogle logo on it. Very visible from the air, and would be a gift to the Mountain View/Sunnyvale era.
If Google doesn't do it, maybe Yahoo! will...

Save Hangar One!

Walking Directions on Google Maps
I'm going to basically copy here what another blogger has requested -- a "walking" option for Google maps... (http://www.bradlands.com/weblog/archives/2005/04/maps_made_for_w.shtml)
"I want a mapping and directions service that lets me choose between driving directions and walking directions. I most often make use of sites like Google Maps when I'm in a strange city or headed for an unfamiliar destination, but won't be taking a private car.
If I plug in a start point and destination, most map sites will give me directions that are perfectly logical for a driver, but don't allow for the fact that someone on foot can go places a car can't -- both ways on the sidewalks along a one-way street, for example. I was trying to put together directions for a friend to reach a hotel I'd recommended to them in Chicago, but both Mapquest and Google Maps would have me send them on a six-block roundabout route along Lake Shore Drive, when they could simply schlep their suitcase two blocks by turning onto a one-way street."

A Kudo This Time
This one's not a suggestion - it's a kudo! One of the hardest things to do with Google.com is to find the actual "real" hotel site for a New York hotel. When you query on the name, you're far more likely to find 3-4 pages of results from resellers.
However, when you do a search for the address on maps.google.com, you can click on the resulting pinpoint and it will give you the actual hotel URL. Bravo!
