Very detailed map of vancouver...

Just stumbled upon this website and got all excited. You may have already known about it, but in case you didn't...

It's a little slow but whatever. The aerial photos are high res and pretty recent (2004). They also have tons of layers you can turn on, including sewer and water information (not sure yet if any of it could be useful).



To give you an idea of the detail:






PS.: It seems to not like the Firefox browser, works fine in IE though...

I couldn't get it to load for some reason.

Is this the same as google maps? or is there more detail on the Vancouver one?

Mowgli, I don't know why it wouldn't load. Try a different browser maybe. Like I said Mozilla didn't work but Explorer did. It made me download a plugin and said to restart windows to update everything, once that was done it worked fine for me.
The other thing I can think of, is if you have a pop-up blocker it might be killing it, as it opens a new window when you launch.

Catnip, there's more detail on the Vancouver map. Sorry if I wasn't clear, I just put up the picture as a comparison between the maximum zoom on the Google maps, and the same on the Vancouver map.

I've been using VanMap for a while now and it's pretty cool. Google Maps are satellite images. VanMap are actual aircraft photos, hence the higher resolution.
