PagineGialle unveils amazing visual maps beta
PagineGialle.it, the leading Italian yellow pages, recently launched a leading edge flash-powered map product online. It features 2D streets, satellite and hybrid maps à-la Google Maps, eye-bird imagery and a stunning, fast, browser-embedded 3D model complete with altitude information.
I was especially pleased by the 3D model that is faster and better than Microsoft's Live heavyweight Internet Explorer plug-in.
At the moment, only Italy is covered by high resolution satellite imagery.
