Well, the maps at mapa.co.il should work fine (It's written in Java and I'm one of the two authors), but unfortunately Mapa's website uses IE javascript and will give you an error on anything but IE. Feel free to email and urge them to make their website standards compliant. The other catch is

I'm a long time subscriber (at least three years now) of Mapa and miss a lot the fact that not only their maps work only with IE but also that it requires Microsoft JVM (had to disable the Sun plugin in order to work with it). Actually, the map (applet) works in any JVM - the issue is that the

I second that. I think that really the Mapa service if it gives all what Alexander says then it absolutly worth more then the printed version. However since it work only with MSIE, I will not pay them until it works with Linux since working only with IE means not working at all to me since I
