Google Maps with more Australian detail (18 Comments) (link)
 Monday, 22-May-2006  04:03:30 (GMT +10) - by Agg

Thetron noticed that Google Maps has been updated with street level maps of major Australian and New Zealand cities. In fact, it's even got street names for the rural area where I live.

I also noticed that there's more detail in some of the satellite photos of Australia now too. For example Sydney's CBD used to be very blurry, but now you can clearly see landmarks like Centrepoint Tower and the MLC Centre, not to mention the Sydney Opera House. There seems to have been an additional level of zoom added to the interface, although I haven't found anywhere that can use it.

Remember, we have a huge list of Australian Google Maps Locations in the Wiki. I imagine that page will become even bigger now!
