Flickr and Yahoo maps improve Liverpool photography
Not sure if this is just Liverpool or the UK/Europe as a whole but Yahoo maps has added much greater photography detail for Liverpool. Yahoo maps is used by Flickr for geolocation and the previous lack of detail has been frustrating. There is now photography to the greatest zoom level, where previously it stopped at level 4/5.
It's also interesting that, in view of Liverpool Vision's misguided whingeing about Google Earth images being out of date, the new Yahoo photography looks very recent. The image above shows the Liverpool One development, including the recently completed car park. Just out of picture above is the sunken ferry landing stage...
The map view has also been improved, although it still shows a non-existent park off Liverpool's Hope Street.
