While Nearmap for Tamworth and Armidale would be nice, surveyors have been hard at work in both. That said, having had a look at the new coverage in the Hunter Valley, there is a huge amount of detail you can get from Nearmap that would be practically impossible with surveying. - Ben. On 16 Jul

No worries! The new coverage they have set out for Victoria including the Mornington Peninsula, Phillip Island, Ballarat and the Yarra Valley is great news for me! All they need to plan to fly now is Pakenham then i'll be happy! Oh wait, then the Latrobe Valley, then you all get the idea! On 1
