NormanH Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 It's a bit like Google Earth, except I find it has a more thorough coverage of the towns I know.A good way of getting the feel of places you haven't visited.http://www.urbandive.com/You can move about using the little man in the map on the bottom right...Here are the back streets of a town near me..http://www.urbandive.com/#/M1/P4/Smadeleine/N355.936443,0,3.213472,43.345469/B3.213472,43.345469/Z11/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMB Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Looking at that geoportal site it seems the French government has gone and made their own. If so that is a tremendous misuse of funds and resources in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 It's a little strange but the satellite image of my house is much clearer and more up to date on Urbandive than that of Google Maps but I don't have any streetview for miles around. Perhaps they haven't got around to my bit yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I think that geoportail is far better for France than any others. They use the IGN maps and they are second only to the ordanance Maps for the U.K. in their detail and accuracy. One of the things I do is when we are going somewhere we don't know I print off that area to take with us. Great for walking!!Much better than google maps and well worth the money for me..[8-|] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
