I was searching for some documentation about on site embedded Google Maps implementations and geocoding features of the Google Maps API. Many times, I have to remember myself, to look into the google code pages. Because they turn out to be a very helpful resource of information. So, with some help, I ran across this dynamical spreadsheat containing lots of information about availability of Google Maps services per country, including geocoding service, quality of maptiles, availability of driving directions / itinerary, Local Business Center availability and Language availability.

I haven’t really checked if all information is up to date, but it seems that most of it is. (let me know if you notice some flaws, like the availability of Ireland for example. )

So my tip for the day is; check out the Google Code pages; often, developers know more about the capabilities of a service and it helps you to sell a better product.
