Google maps/Microsoft Bing

[Malt 379]

Now and again I spend a bit of time mucking about with google maps when I'm bored, but tonight thought I'd try out the microsoft version on the Bing homepage.

 

I'm quite impressed! I don't find the actual birds eye view as good as google, maybe it's just my local area but what I did find useful was the option to view an Ordinance Survey version. I'm sure there are folk on here who will find this useful, as the OS maps list a hell of a lot more local info than the usual maps. Cave locations, old forts, standing stones, etc.

looks pretty useful that, I dont think some of the photos used are massively up to date though as my whole street is on farmers field still and the houses have been built 12 years
