Serving up snippets of grub for the mind wallaby
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.

I can see a bit more work and a few improvements coming on…

Hello Andrew,
I took a quick look at your website at http://www.virtualiom.com and you’ve got some great images of the Isle of Man there. I’m happy to share what I know. It would be great to set up a KML file for Google Earth to show the locations of your panorama photos. Pretty easy to set up I reckon.

State of The (Manx) Map
The map of the Isle of Man is the featured image this week on OpenStreetMap so I think now is a good time for the State of The (Manx) Map post that I’ve been considering doing for a while. (Obviously…
