I'd be in the same situation if I was writing fic for American based series. I still do loads of googling for things for fics too (the last long fic I wrote with Andy as a main character I needed to know about shortwave radios, how long it would take to walk from Cardiff to Southampton (a port city on the south coast of England) and where the main TV transmitter is in Cardiff). Google maps is so useful, as I've only been to Wales a couple of times - once to Cardiff for two days for a Torchwood fan meet-up in 2007 and once as a college student back in the mid 1990's for a geography field trip to the Brecon Beacons.
