Maps ahoy!
The Google Map service has been about for a while, but I’ve noticed it’s also available through the flexible Wikimapia site.
It’s fun to zoom in on places you know…obviously coverage isn’t 100% but most population centres are covered around our globe.
There doesn’t seem to be a nice line marking the 0-degree Meridian through Greenwich unfortunately!
The view here was taken in the hot summer of 2003 I think; parched grass and some construction work further down the river in Dagenham that was taking place at the time makes me say this.
