Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
I still prefer Google for the maps themselves. And Google maps does a
better job of finding a location from the description. And Google
refreshes the screen much faster as you move around. But, for the
places I've looked, live.com is as good or better for detail in the
aerial/satellite view, and the birds-eye view is unique and excellent.
Example: check out Clover Valley Golf Club in Johnstown, OH on both
sites. Get in as close as you can. How much detail can you resolve.
No comparison, right? Now switch to birds-eye view in live.com. Even better!
Cheers!

Good morning Dave and Tom. Following the link that you suggested I
am not seeing what you may be seeing as to live, "?" , flyover
photos of my own town. We have a loop that circles the town of
Athens, Texas (80 miles east of Dallas, Texas) that has been
completed for several years.
However the images that are shown are years behind. The loop was
completed about five years ago. Now taking in consideration that
these maps are not updated as we would like for them to be and I am
sure there are some security risks that must be considered, I can
understand why the details shown are given certain priorities. I
have now searched three different online maps and Google is still
the most detailed that I have found for this area and like you say,
it needs updating. I am sure that the rural areas are not as
important as the major cities are and I doubt that there will be any
changes done in the near future.
This is St. Patrick's Day and I hope that the luck of the Irish will
fill your world with all its lucky charms. For 47 years now that
Irish luck has been with the wife and I. Life has been good and may
it shine in your life.
