Came across a post on another forum which mentioned that Google have a Maps site in Beta test. Maps are very clear, go down to road name level and you can drag them around with your mouse. Searches and route planning are a little hit 'n' miss at the moment but hopefully they will sort that out before going 'live'.

If the link doesn't work just do a search for Google Maps.

Yes, I must admit this is excellent, as is everything with Google. They used to default to [name edited] or [name edited] maps while searching for a specific place, but I suppose they'll be using their own site in the future.

Google have now added satellite photos to their Google Maps page and you can flip between map/satellite view. On the areas I looked at you can zoom to a level which shows individual houses (albeit small). You can even scroll the photos (drag with mouse) as you can with the maps.
