[UK-CONTEST] Google Earth vs Microsoft

[Colin]

I suspect the high definition areas at the moment are those of high 
population density.   A couple of hundred metres after leaving the 
greater Southampton conurbation and enter the New Forest District on the 
A36 the maps go 'fuzzy' and that includes where I live.   There are 
locations, as Chris remarked on, that will probably remain 'fuzzy'.   
Check the exclusion areas in the BR68!

The U.S. authorities on the other hand take a little artistic licence 
with Paint Shop Pro and just remove offending objects.
