NOW - even better -Get Google Earth

• Google offers mapping products that can display an interactive map on a Web page.

• The mapping services utilize a technology known as AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) which allows for a more flexible and interactive mapping experience.

• Use this service to display a location on a map generated by Google. It started with US addresses (in the form of Street, Town, State, Zip), but it now works with most other countries. In the UK you can use your post code or town. 

• You can zoom and pan the maps as desired. Zooming can be achieved by using the sliding scales found on the left of the maps. Panning can be achieved by left-click-holding any location of the map and dragging it around.
   

•  I particularly like to use the Satellite views  - in some areas you can get quite a good close up.  I even tried tried Spain - using Satellite - with varying results.
