In addition to Google and Diadiem, here are some HCMC political maps that show the divisions (district/ward/etc.) at street level.

Thanks to Slowhatch for interpreting the river map! Couldn't get much out of this leg (Cai Be's too small a town to have maps searchable on Google), but we do know the Pit Stop was opposite the Cai Be Church.

If anyone can help with pinpointing the locations please chip in!

Phnom Penh orientation, from the wiki:
Quote
All of Phnom Penh's streets are numbered, although some major thoroughfares have names as well. The scheme is simple: odd-numbered streets run north-south, the numbers increasing as you head west from the river, and even numbers run west-east, increasing as you head south (with some exceptions, e.g. the west side of the Boeung Kak lake). House numbers, however, are quite haphazard. Don't expect houses to be numbered sequentially in a street; you might even find two completely unrelated houses with the same number in the same street.
Many of the numbered streets have names as well; here's an index (click to zoom; the site also has a good PP interactive map). Another map with specialized pages for the tourist areas is here.

A nice (French interface) PP map here: there's an English version, but it's not as interactive for some reason (click "Plan en Flash" for the zoom-and-scroll type map).

Dubai:
No map at the official Burj Dubai site: they probably figure you won't have any trouble finding it.  :lol:

I'm using Bank Gothic, they seemed to have switched to this one since TAR 14...

College's been relentless, so I'm falling behind on the maps! Here's last week's for Ho Chi Minh City... (Thanks especially to Boingo!)

Not yet. Just a number--203--somewhere within walking distance of the temple.

The helmet shop was at the Russian Market. First, take this photo, enlarge it to original size, then look for the stall with the helmets and 203 above the door. Second, compare Puddin's final sale cap to the photo in the middle of this blog page; same stall, same phone number. Also, fwiw, a simple map of the Russian Market.

A map of Souk Madinat Jumeirah and the Atlantis water park (both pdf). The ziggurat looks like a clever idea: you ride a conveyer up inside, then take one of several rides from there.

Location of Gold Centre I found on the Dubai Tourism website, but is it accurate? Looks like a hike from the abra stop!

Looks right. The address I have for Deepu is "New Gold Centre" and wiki has a "Gold Centre Building" in the same place (next to the parking lot).
