Google Antiques?

Not exactly, but pretty close:

Antique hunters and collectors now have a way to locate fairs, centres, dealers' shops and private sellers around the UK using a new online Collectables Map that pinpoints different locations.

David Fletcher of CollectFair has created the detailed online street map using the Google Maps system, and it is easy to use, but best of all: it's free.

Interested parties can either add their own "marker pin" to the map after registering their email, or they can ask CollectFair to place the marker pin for them. All of the pins are colour-coded according to the nature of the business (shop, auctioneer, dealer, etc), and each has an attached "information bubble" that allows space for an exact street address, brief description and a link to the company�s website.

From the Antiques Trade Gazette. The CollectFair map may be found here.
