Like google maps, but more detailed

Just noticed this site now requires you to register for an account. Still free though, for private usage. Not the best in rural areas.

On my area theres an update every 3 months or so.

There was a house being built along the road and over 12 months you get an amazing scene of old house - demolished - slab layed - frame up - roof on.

yep, yep, yep,, just goes to show the amount of "closeness", detail, and up to dateness

it hadn't been there that long before the photo's,,

will be interesting to see how often they're updated though

Good find, mate! It's a lot better in the cities, but the rural areas (like mine) look like a patchwork quilt with much less detail than google. At least the maps are up to date.
Hey Steptoe. That's a toyota camry wagon parked beside your shed, right?

Only covers australia at the moment, pics are taken from planes, so more detail than satelite pics.
