Ahh so not just me then  As for updates, I did notice it's a fair few years behind (over 6 for my house ) but you still get a good idea of your site and roads etc. I like using it as has been said to make sure my perfect sounding site isn't next to a tip/main road etc as that can make a big difference. Long live Google

 Just noticed, most of you are googlers, but I seem to be the only one using Live Search Maps and this, in most tourist or areas of importance, show " birds eye "

This is a series of photographs taken from four angles usually, and also with the option to Zoooom in so close it`s like standing on rooftops.

Yes, definitely and to an obsessive degree!!!

I have been known to ring a site and ask them where we are booked in in using google maps as reference.

I will always look before I book!

It always rains on tents. Rainstorms will travel thousands of miles, against prevailing winds for the opportunity to rain on a tent.
