Swedish aerial maps!

We all like to rest our eyes on the cities in Google Earth, but this is even better.

Eniro is pretty much Sweden's answer to Google Earth, but one big difference: The "Utsikt" view, or "View" view.   In our three largest cities you can browse the views taken from aerial photos. It is quite neat. Just search either Stockholm, Goteborg, or Malmo, and then click the  UTSIKT tab in the top middle. Here are some examples:

Stockholm

Rosengård in Malmö - a large infamous housing project

Just curious, how is this different from Microsoft Virtual Earth?

Wow! Fantastic detail and quality! Way better than Google Earth.

Windows Live Virtual Earth has the same thing, it's called "Birds Eye View"

Oh shut up, you that think that windows live earth or google is so much better, infact, google doesn't even zoom in on Norway and Sweden, they just show blurry and crappy satelite images, and msn maps only shows aerials of Oslo, while sites like Gulesider.no shows TWENTY cities' aerial pics in Norway, the same goes for Eniro in Sweden...

Google earth makes my house look like a deformed blob. It's a nice big house too.

windows live is somewhat similar though, there are aerial views like those on the birds eye feature. they have helsinki, copenhagen, oslo, stockholm and many other scandanavian cities...still a good site though, thanks for the link

I saw this a couple of weeks ago. Amazing. Now people can see göteborg from a birdseye view .

Glenni, I never said it was better. I just couldn't tell the difference.

That's what I thought.

When it comes to Scandinavia, Microsoft only provides the Birds Eye's view to the largest cities, while Eniro have bought the rights to all large cities (by our northern measurements). The funny thing is that Microsoft will show me detailed pictures of Copenhagen in Birds Eye view, but not detailed satelite photographs!

But I have to say, Google offers a much better service: Higher resolution over more of Scandinavia, somewhat better maps, and, of course, timetables for trains and Metro! I'm also using Mac OS (when I'm not playing SC), and I hate the way Microsoft limites the use of Virtual Earth.

But take a look. It's the Dalgas Have part of the Copenhagen Business School (the large building next to the tracks). The station to the right is Lindevang, which Vester has BATted.

I have a funny situation dealing with Google Earth, you can see my house but the house 100 ft away from mine is a blob
