Get it right :). <br /><br />And yeah, I call "small sample size" on that one. First place I checked google was better:<br /><br />http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=37.676586~-121.896969&style=h&lvl=19&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&encType=1<br /><br />http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=pleasanton,+ca&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=33.984987,53.876953&ie=UTF8&ll=37.676452,-121.897184&spn=0.001036,0.001644&t=h&z=19<br /><br />I realize that doesn't show google is better overall, but it does show that anybody can find a single data-point to back up an assertion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144665965043731632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793766880277724425.post-40468077781848768572009-07-10T15:31:07.237-07:002009-07-10T15:31:07.237-07:00I was just proving a point.

Google's campus? Really? Of course Google Maps has been quality images there.<br /><br />But you're right, it does depend on where you look.
