An amazing Home page.  Looks like another huge time consumer (I didn't say "waster"!)
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Unless you have a Microsoft account on WIN 8.1 it won't install the app (well I couldn't).....I tried the 10.1 Tab but I couldn't remember my Samsung account (if I have one) as I use Google Play.

Interestingly, they must have used their own camera vehicle for what they call "Street Level" views.  I say that because you can explore Paris, but not Sydney.
Excellent clear maps and fast response times.  I'll have to explore its features further.
What a world we live in!!     :thumbsup

Satellite pix of Brisbane appear to be only a couple of years old.

I use here maps because I have a Nokia N8 and I can collect points or routes, create customized collections and then synchronise either from the computer or from the phone.  ++

Then from teh saved route or destination on the phone the GPS on the phone will take me where I want to go.

Apparently it works really well with Nokia Windows 8.1 phones too.
Cheers,
Gary
