Greetings :)

It has been pointed out to me that the satellite views from Google maps are often not very detailed... whereas the Microsoft VE maps are often a lot clearer (for rural parts of the UK).

Do people find the quality of the Google maps an issue?

Actually, I personally never really use that feature. What would be infinitely better would be a link to www.streetmap.co.uk for the location of mines. I find a location presented onto an OS map very useful indeed.

Just my view.. 😉

For ariel pics i use 'local live' Seems detailed enough on full zoom. The only down side is the images cannot be saved, or am i doing something wrong? 😠

Seeing as how it was you that asked Nimrod 🙂 I've sorted out Streetmap links. They seem to be the only outfit that will give a good map off a northing and easting.

One each mine details page, under the grid reference (right hand side) you'll now find a Streetmap.co.uk logo and link.

I'm still looking into Microsoft Live maps though; either embedded or linked in the same way as the Streetmap.co.uk map.

Absolutely excellent, kind Sir. A remarkably useful feature 😉

Edit : Helps me see where all these Welsh mines are that you guys are always talkin' about ... :lol:
