Map & Distance site

[islandman]

I am looking for a website that will show ie town streets. Most that I can find, provide only small windows with little scope for full page. Because we may relocate, I'd like to be able to "see at a glance" things in perspective.

I'd also like to be able to enter two places to establish distance.

Have you tried 'Google Earth'. I am sure if you click onto this site you will find what you are looking for.

You can tap into Microsoft Virtual Earth for both road maps and close-in aerial views if you go through the UK Campsite website.
Click http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp? revid=3855#maphere to try it out.
You can view places world-wide if that takes your fancy.
Not too sure about measuring distances between two points.

Thanks again. As we MAY be moving next year, I wanted to equip myself with as many maps etc as might be usefull when we start researching locations.
