RE: A Primer on Urban Exploration (UK and Overseas)
I have tried it but cant really see any advantages over Google maps. You can zoom into places off road if the angle is correct. Its the out of the way places I would like to see street maps but they are mostly missing.
Yeah it probaly depends what you're using it for. I used it recently to sneak a closer look at a fantastic house I spotted in a local street that was actually designed by a well-known architect in the 1930s. You can twiddle the image round and get a look at it from all angles, which you can't really do on Google Maps. Great if you're a nosy parker. Also there's a ruler tool, so you can measure exact distances which helped me get my pacing right over 100m. Probably not much use to you.
I'm wondering how @bingbabe got on in the London Marathon. I'll look back over your recent posts. I'm just back from a week on the Isle of Rum with no internet.
There's a post about her run, you will find it easily enough, though its more a moan from me about being her pack mule!
Haha! I just read it. It's great. What an achievement for both of you!
