Just planned a trip to kyrinia next weekend.... amazingly clever software......  cloud9:

I asked it to plan the route... then you can drag and drop the route to include places that you want to go to.... worthy: 

And this is (obviously) in Cyprus - not one of the most travelled countries in the world....

Like boogs I use it for planning trips. Mileage, routes and view for checking difficult junctions, landmarks and such.

Our vehicle tracking system is connected to it as well if one of the drivers does something like a harsh brake or overspeeding I can click on the event and see exactly where it happened .... amazing tool ....    Thumbs:

Use it umpteen times a day at work, for tracking, viewing features on the network (saves many miles), comparisons of the road "now" and "then", delays on ther network. I also use it a lot at home, streetview is awesome and I see they've now added photos to streetview. Great tool all round  :thumbsup:

(Which reminds me, must get my mileage claim submitted, Google maps here I come)
