Nearmap is now pay for use.

Anyone who uses Nearmap will be disappointed to hear that free access has come to an end.

Dang, I used to enjoy looking back at old places I have lived and how they have changed over the years. I could even spot the cat in the backyard on one of the pictures at Rydalmere.

That's a bit of a bugger it was great for looking at isolated areas.

Luckily I have access to it at work :D although it's limited to only Metro Perth :( although as I'm a photogrammetrist I make my own imagery all over the State, which is very handy for scoping possible hide locations :D

I wonder if there'll be a reasonably priced individual non commercial licence.

It hasn't been working very well for a while when called from programs, and I think they blocked access altogether from Oziexplorer.
