Isle Of Man: Street Level Mapping at Last

A quick look at my blogmap (on the right hand sidebar) revealed that my location is somewhere in the sea, oops. It never used to look like that, so what changed?

It seems that Chandu Thota (the creator of Blogmap) has updated it again. Well actually the company he works for, Microsoft, have made a huge improvement in their mapping data for the rest of the world. This means that for the first time we in the Isle of Man have access to street level mapping.

It’s impressive stuff, and compared to the tracklogs I have been creating for the OpenStreetMap Isle Of Man project, it’s accurate enough for most purposes.
