WikiMapia.com an alternative from Google Earth

Files under Internet, Software, iCalvyn Life | Posted by calvyn

I play around Google Earth last year, and found that this is a wonderful software that may see my house, my friend house, my company and so on. Just like the James Bond movie shows that able to pin point some one in the world.

WikiMapia, an alternative from Google Earth
WikiMapia does not require to download any software, and direct access from their portal.

I found KOMTAR, the tallest building in Penang Island, Malaysia

For this WikiMapia, the best thing I like is , it can show road name , just click on view -> Hybrib you can see all the road name.

With using this kind of MAP location stuff, I like to make comparison, see below, both are Penang DAM, new one and old one, see how the different was.

Google softwares are always impressive but too bad google earth didn’t up to date. I look to my nearest garden using google earth, there is an empty space which today is replaced by super-market - Giant.

I normally use Google Earth. But sometimes when I’m not using my own computer and I need to see the map, I’ll surf to http://www.flashearth.com

It’s similar to Wikimapia, they both use Google’s maps and does not require any download/installation, but then Wikimapia provides more information I guess.

Thanks for the introduction of this website!
