Site upgrade

The Australian Scout Map is being upgraded to use the latest version of Google Maps, and make it easier to add new groups. Some of the new features are:

• Autocomplete when searching (start typing an address, and Google will suggest addresses)
• Street view (drag the "peg man" onto a street)
• 45 degree view (in some areas, satellite view is available from different angles)
• Improved support for mobile devices
