Nice, but it's only of north america!

The IceMap will be better anyway.. when it's finished

This one zooms all the way to giving me precise GPS coordinates on whatever part of my backyard i set my scope up in

http://services.land.vic.gov.au/land...interactivemap

the services.land.gov.au map is dead accurate.

also www.mapblast.com is interesting if you need to search for an address.

Hey that's nice Tex didn't know about that one.

The 'services.land.gov.au' map actually shows my property and it's boudaries, large dams and the nature reserve up the road. I can zoom in to my house and any square metre on my property. The mapblast one only shows the area without boundary lines and no detail at all, and will only zoom in enough to show acres, not metres!

Don't know how close it zooms in for City properties.

Wow it actually shows the fire trails that run through my place cool some of them may not be there any more but cool. The land.gov.au gives measurements for my uncles property do i'm gunna have to measure it when i get home.

I mentioned the mapblast one not because it's super accurate but because it's the best address locator i've found so far that is able to translate latitude and longitude.

They are also moving up here to our quiet little town!! in turn, making the council fit more street lights.
