Where to find these maps
http://www.yell.com/ucs/HomePageAction.do
and search with the ‘Show on Map‘ ticked.
Think this is the first type of cross Mapping as using Multimap for the base mapping - but then Microsoft Virtual Earth is being used in the Birds Eye View.
Yell have done a good update and this will be the best mapping they have had on there website.
Prediction - 2008 Hybird Mapping API. Though check Terms and Conditions on using different mapping applications together, some prohibit use with ‘competitors’ mapping solutions.
i.e. Yahoo Geocoder is only allowed to be used with Yahoo Maps.
