Has anyone heard of or does anyone use this? I think it's brilliant! I'm looking for a new flat in Newcastle and all I have to do is type in a postcode, and it zooms in on an aerial view of the flat and the street.

623, I think it's because Scotland doesn't have as many built-up areas. Which is a blessing really!

I love it, I've had it for quite a while and find it totally addictive.  I can see my friend's house in Australia perfectly!

I couldn't see my apartment block properly, but you can see my parents' house perfectly.

I couldn't even work out how to use it. There does not seem to be a search facility on my version and I can't get out of America.

If you go on the help pages it explains how to search, there should be a small box on the left hand side where you can type words in. I have found that using postcodes is best.
