It's a really cool web site that you can see "bird eyes views" of some locations with satellite views, also. Here's an example of bird eye view, so you know what I'm talking about. You can put in names of famous places, too!

That's cool. Although, it looks similar idea as Google's map.

It looks SIMILAR, except for the bird eye view that Google maps on the web don't have that yet. It sure looks almost like simcity in real time.

 

[deafclimber]

yea it s a cool real 'sim city'. i saw my building where i live *snap* my truck isnt there !

 

[sequoias]

that's cool, deafclimber! I saw my apartment on the bird eye's view, also. It sure looks cool!

Wow, you found your own truck in that parking lot! Was it hard to look for with tons of all other cars?

 

[deafclimber]

Ah, assigned parking space for you! Too bad the bird eye can't see thru the underground parking garages under the apartment complexes.

It's sucks!

I put my full address and it give me wrong local.

I try take around Chicago with Bird's eye and it said "Bird's eye images are not available for this area."


Looks like maps.google.com is better than this.

It's beta, remember that! It says so on that web site. They have not covered everything for bird eye views, it's really new. Google maps online does NOT have bird eye views yet.

It's sucks!

Remember M$ is powerful and rich than google.com


Yeah I noticed bird's eye really cool.

lol.. same with google mapsite. i did put the address and they gave me wrong map. i was puzzling for some times and i dragged myself around it til i found right one then i transfered myself to satelitte site. most map sites are not perfect with the directions yet in my opinion, google's mapsite is the best so far because it is very friendly and more accurate with the directions.

i hate MapQuest.com the most and i dont even understand why ppl keep using that site.

Yes I dragged myself to found there but no image. Grr

I don't understand why most people use mapquest.com too. Don't worry about it. I still work on it and show everyone about maps.google.com that it is better than mapquest.com

 

[deafclimber]

yea. my fiancee, who is freelance interpreter, uses mapquest.com religiously. i keep telling her to use google map site, but she is stubborn to use mapquest.

 

[sequoias]

I use google and yahoo maps to get directions, winkz! I don't like mapquest, too many errors and not too accurate.
