    I remember three years ago, looking at this irish website that would give u maps of ireland much like www.mapquest.com. I remember typing in my address and clicking the results to get more and more detailed views until eventually it popped up an aerial photo of my house :D. But i can't for the life of me remember what that site was. Has anyone got any idea. I remember it had "esat" in the address somewhere. I tried google but no luck.

    It's on the IOL site somewhere but you have to pay for it now.

    If you are in Dublin, there is a journey planner on www.dto.ie that is much the same. About the only useful thing the Dublin Transportation Office have ever done!

    Yeah, the service is provided by Mapflow. They used to provide this service free from their own website, but when they started charging for it, they had to do the same on IOL. MyHome have the same base mapping, so you can get the same"experience" for free there :)
