Has anyone used this mapping site at all?

I know these are a bit gimmicky and old hat now but this one uses a variety of different sources for the maps and it can be intersting to compare...


For instance Brands Hatch using microsoft maps looks empty but note the weird tracks in the fields to the north, but using google it looks like it is either late or early on a motorbike race day? The tracks to the north are considerably different too.

never realsied how close the houses are either!

I've recently been using Windows Local Live - imaging is a bit nicer IMO

Live Local Search

Where it says "Enter City, Address or Landmark" - stick your postcode in and see what comes up.
