Better res. than google earth.And quite a number of years older. The survey was done sometime
in 1998/1999. From an aeroplane. It'll never be updated except
with satellite imagery.--

Satellite where they have high res and low level where they don't.--

Better res. than google earth.Depends where you are. Comparing side by side in my area (Stockport),
Google Earth looks higher res and zooms in deeper. The MS jobbie feels
clunky too (but then it probably detects I'm using a mac and gets sulky).Roy.

Edinburgh is between april 1999 & july 2002 (my 1st car bought in 1999
is outside my old flat).Cairngorm looks more recent as the funicular is there, seems to be part
of a whole series of images taken of scotland.--

Better res. than google earth.At least I can use it from Firefox running on linux. Google Earth doesn't
work at all! (Google Local does though).--

empire" is bad. I (very happily) use a Microsoft mouse at work too. :-)I'd have preferred to have Google Earth working though...

It doesn't seem to zoom in close enough to check out cars in the drive where
I live ( out of town on the Surrey/Hants border) but Google certainly will
.... I'll be sticking with Google !Martin
