What Are They Thinking?

If you are looking to find on-line maps or directions and you use Opera, don't bother with whereis.com
Not only do they not support Opera they like to treat the 5% of the internet market which uses Opera with contempt.
This is the message you get when you try to access their service:
It's no surprise that whereis is operated by sensis a subsidiary of our favourite home-grown near-monopoly corporation, Telstra.
Telstra spends most of its time not listening to its customers also.
So, no, whereis.com I won't download the browsers you think I should use. I will use Google maps or NRMA instead.

Can't hear you (browser not supported)
We're not ignoring you, just your browser. Sorry, but all the new features on
Whereis can't talk to your browser.
We have made sure you can use Internet Explorer (we'll listen to IE 6 and
above), the latest Mozilla Firefox or Safari on Whereis. So why don't you
try one of those instead?
