Such great hights

Some time ago we mentioned Google StreetView integration on 11870.com maps, it’s a feature that can often come in handy. Still, there are other ways to look at a location that might suit your needs or curiosity better, depending on the occasion.

Satellite views can be informative, but sometimes appear a little too abstract.

The place we’re looking at here, Top of the Rock, is at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. With street view we can check out the entrance to the building:

And the bird’s eye view feature gives us a whole new perspective.

The route to these visual aids is simple: at the page for any service, click on enlarge map or on the map itself. Then you’ll see, not only a bigger map, but a few extra options to help you find your way around. Try the different views out yourself, at the map page for the London Eye, for example.

For another way to view services on a map, read about 11870.com places on Google Earth in the help section.
