Microsoft Live Aerial Photos

[Jimbob]

I've been playing around with quite a few mapping sites and this one has by far the best resolution and some amazing features - I'll leave you to find them out. You will be amazed if you have not played around with it before.

I know many of you will know this but there may be some who have missed out. If you have missed it go to: Live Local Search

I find with all the aerial mapping sites it depends on who is most upto-date, the more recent pictures tend to be at higher quality. In the case of my street google has the better picture but for my parents street microsoft do. I use flashearth since it incorporates all the best sites from one page and you can flip between them - Flash Earth ...satellite and aerial imagery of the Earth in Flash

I've been using this to plan this weekends fishing, I especially love the birds eye view, it shows details which just aren't possible to see in Google/Microsoft.

not aerial mapping, but a photomosaic of the whole country, taken from ground level.
