[WWI] I made a new list map

[Andy Bannister]

I note the satellite view is rather out of date - the block of flats across
the street from me that's been there at least two years is just an empty lot
in the picture. Still, the very fact that I can actually see my house is
both amazing and somewhat disturbing...
