Google maps

Does anyone know how to change the google maps shortcut to co.uk - its really annoying defaulting to the .com site? I seem to be able to find the file but it won't let me modify it.

 

First I'd make a backup of the file in case it all goes pear shaped ...
cd /usr/share/applications/edesktop/
sudo cp googlemap.desktop googlemap.desktop.bak

then edit (with kwrite?)
sudo kwrite googlemap.desktop

edit the line
Exec=firefox http://maps.google.com
to
Exec=firefox http://maps.google.co.uk

save and reboot

 

Thanks
Kwrite isn't recognised - any other ideas?

 

even with a small k? - personally, I'd use vi but it's a bit cryptic, you might try
sudo mousepad googlemap.desktop
or
sudo oowriter googlemap.desktop
(when you click save, click yes to save in text file format)
