Title: Google maps beta
Post by: Jonnyfp on September 10, 2005, 08:21:47 PM
I imagine everyone already knows this but rather than use multimap or routeplanner or even AA, RAC.
i typed the address of somewhere i needed to get to straight into google then hit 'I'm feeling lucky' Google maps beta loaded up and found the place with directions and an option to see a satelite image or a hybrid cross ref.

Well i was impressed anyway. I'll prove or disprove the program tomorrow morning when i get lost as usual..lol

Punch up Google then search Google earth.

Download it then in the place box type Berkshire or Hampshire, it'll give you a satelite view at about 4000 ft Mate.
