Microsoft Take on Google Earth and Win!

Post by amo »

Hi all,
Lost my Hard Drive recently but luckily backed up my Web SIte/drawings etc hence no changes to website etc.
Have found the following site by microsoft to take on Google Earth.

Type in Heathrow airport (or any other) and turn on Aerial Photography and some in to 50 yards using mouse wheel.
You can almost read the reggies.

Hi Amo

Trouble is it is Ye Olde Mappe

I looked at Dunsfold and the Trident was still there :shock: :lol:

It is clearer than Google Earth in some UK places but where there is not close stuff Google is better.

I'm greedy so I look at both to get a better idea. :dance:

Thanks for posting the link
