Sensis Whereis vs Google Maps
Thursday, May 31, 2007
Like most people you’re probably using Google Maps these days. So you may not have noticed that Whereis.com have released high-definition photographic images of the metropolitan centres across Australia. It’s impressive and considerably better quality than what Google Maps currently offer. Below is example in the difference in resolution:
Fitzroy Pool: Google Maps - Maximum Zoom
Fitzroy Pool: Whereis.com (beta)
Fitzroy Pool: Whereis.com (beta) Maximum Zoom
Whereis.com still have a few issues to iron out before the final release. Not surprisingly it’s much slower than Google maps, and it often produces JavaScript errors and then totally shuts down.
