I second that recommendation.. and note that the Millenium's End Gm's
companion
contains many maps of common modern buildings as well as a small
onomastikon
(as I recall.. haven't opened my copy in a while)  and is a good
investment for
anyone wanting to run modern/near future games.

ps - if you didn't know an Onomastikon is a dictionary of names.. there
are
also some excellent ones on the web.
