Accuracy was not a problem but being up to date was. I looked up my house and got a vacant lot. We built our house more than 5yrs ago.......

Doesn't work - I assume it does not like Firefox.

I believe it's the same engine as provided by Bing. Works in my Firefox

Find maps, driving directions and business listings - Bing Maps Australia (http://bingmaps.com.au/)

Saw my bus in my driveway.
Pity it took me to my Neighbors house though....

My place must be subject to some military secret suppression order.... Bing doesn't have any satellite coverage of my suburb.

Works fine in Firefox (latest version) for me.

Detail is much older than Google. Accuracy is pathetic compared to Google.
Is faster than Google though.

Satellite view does not go in as far as Google.

All up... why would you bother?

Lacks detail. i had a look at the area around Winton. It showed almost no secondary roads, Cork Mail Road in particular was missing. Did show a non existent township grid of streets down the Diamantina River Road. No detail like station homesteads, bores, etc.
