And it's free! It's only for Windows (at least, for now) and it allows you to traverse the Earth using satellite imagery.  Type your post code and zoom in....

It works far better on places in the USA Clive and i can clearly see the rooms i stayed at in Florida the two times i've been  :D


On the down side they got rid of the Tennis courts about 2 years ago and they are still on the picture  :roll:  but it just looks the same picture as the last one of these that was posted.

I'm finding Google Maps an increasingly useful tool.  Check out its route-planning capabilities!
