View Google Maps On TiVo!
Mark Fleming - Contributing Writer

Google Maps is one of the coolest of Google applications , and
anyone using TiVo knows that it is one of the most essential
products for your home entertainment.

Now they come together in a new TiVo hack by Arthur A. van Hoff,
recently lead architect for TiVo's TiVoToGo, Content Distribution
Service, and Home Media Engine project (he's now gone). With this
hack of your TiVo box, you can display Google Maps on your
television set. You use the arrow keys to move around, channel
up/down to zoom, number keys to enter a zip code, and select to
switch between map and satellite mode.

I've got a TiVo, but have never tried hacking it. But, apparently
there are many, mnay people who do this with no problems. There's
a whole community built around TiVo hacks. You'll find plenty of
site devoted to this if you search Google for [tivo hacks].

To download the hack visit van Hoff's website.
