Dark Site Finder/Light Pollution

Dont know if this has been presented before. Zoom right into your own suburb. Not sure how up to date data is.

I agree the lightpollution map is more accurate for my area, and the dark site I use. I think it provides a more detailed map, even by street, whereas the dark site map seems to make assumptions and bulk up areas. On the lightpollution map I can see shopping centres, service stations etc, which is what I mean by local detail.
