I’m a fan of Google Maps and Google Earth. I like their programmer’s interface and innovations. I would like to see their Street View<\/a> feature come to South Bend sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

But I like crisp updated imagery more than any company. I like maps that layer information for me and in which navigation is a joy. Unfortunately no online map does everything I need, but one map currently has better and more updated imagery for the South Bend Area than the rest – scan the images below and I bet you’ll agree with me.<\/p>\n

These images are screen captures from the major online mapping programs. They are of the same location, now the site of North Douglas Condos completed building #1 and clubhouse. Most seem to use the same imagery, but one far surpasses the rest.<\/p>\n

Though I use Google Maps for directions and everyday mapping, and macoggis<\/a> for parcel searches, I’m now going to use Microsoft’s Bird’s Eye View for the most current satellite imagery of the area.<\/p>\n
