In an effort to out Google google, Yell.com have launched a new amazing three dimensional map system that enable users to fly around their city like a superhero.
In a UK-first, the photo-realistic 3D maps were created from actual film footage shot from light aeroplanes using sophisticated aerospace technology, which is then merged with other film taken from ground level. They can be used for free on the Yell.com website, which is the online version of the Yellow Pages directory.
