Ern Ackroyd in Canada sent along a note about a nifty site that
can be useful to genealogists looking for specific address in Ireland. Ern writes:
It has just been brought to my attention that a site in Ireland
has mapping similar to MapQuest but with a neat twist. If you zoom in closely
enough, you will then be presented with an aerial photo of the locale. The
photos are close-up enough to almost identify the type of car in the driveway.
The photo feature is not available in all areas of Ireland,
but I know that it is for Dublin.
Thought you might like to know of it. Have a look.
I looked at pictures of Dublin and was amazed to see automobiles
and lorries traveling on the roadways. Anything closer and I could have read
the license plate numbers!
The MapFlow maps and pictures are available at: interactive2.iol.ie/maps/iolmap.asp.
