[UK-CONTEST] Google Earth vs Microsoft

[Ray - G4FON]

Colin,

I don't think that it is population related. If you follow the M40/A40 up to
Oxford the definition is wonderful until you get the Green Road Roundabout
in the outskirts of Oxford, whereupon it goes blurred and generally
useless...

Certainly the Microsoft map is much better, but is also much older judging
by our street and the contents of my garden.

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.
