It was not as easy as a, b, c.

A Melbourne graphic designer has just completed the ultimate Google Maps experiment after setting out to find landmarks which resembled each letter of the alphabet.

Rhett Dashwood, 32, spent six months mostly "just pressing the cursor up, up, up" to find all five vowels and 21 consonants, discovering the elusive last letter — "k" — only last week.

"I did it in my spare time — it was better than doing a sudoku," he said.

"I set a little puzzle for myself."
