RightMove Maps

They seem to be using Google Maps now. When did that happen? I liked the birds eye view of the other maps they used.

    I used to hate the old way, the maps were fuzzy and dated for wherever I was looking, google maps for me is clearer and zooms in closer.

    They were using http://www.aboutmyplace.co.uk

    It must be new, they were using aboutmyplace yesterday I'm sure!

    I also have a Firefox plugin I use, I think it was produced by somebody on MSE, which gives me a choice of maps, with a difference. Once I've got my search and 10 properties are listed in RM, I can then click on several map choices and it plots all those 10 houses onto a map, showing where they are.
  • Have a look at the maps/views on Bing.com..... They're superb and more uptodate than the Google ones.
