“Why are they making this free?”

The data mining of what you are looking at must be a gold mine otherwise.

Ah, just tried it using another browser (Safari, not Firefox) and it worked.

It took over ten tries but finally worked. Sent me the ID instantly.

Tried it...it’s ok but I find the old G map works better, even on a more than capable machine and internet over 100 mbps.

It could be the settings. When I zoom in it automatically goes to terrain or street view.

Fast enough and some cool features but Bing maps does more what I want except for street view.

Perhaps someone who knows the program can turn us on to some quick uses, to reveal what makes this one better.

That would be handy if true when working wildfires and other large spread out incidents.

Mrs p6 is exploring it now. She is not what anyone would call a tech wiz.

She is having zero problems and so far thinks it’s a good program. Very intuitive for her.

Waiting for her final ruling...

FWIW mrs p6 has been using it with no problems for over an hour. No input or help needed.

She finds it very interesting and especially likes the property line/parcel data as well as finding info on places she didn’t know about. IOW new sewing, knitting, womick kinda stuff.

Most of the data is available other places but this puts it all in one spot.

She is also getting her kicks from Hey Google and Cortana....

Bottom line Google maps pro gets the mrs p6 seal of approval.

Wow, it’s hard. I swing wildly out of control and crash almost immediately every time. I better stay out of the cockpit!

I have found that Firefox doesn’t work as well as it used to. Karma’s a b*tch.
