It's not even immediately apparent that you can get a map. Too much marketing material on the home page. Is this really even intended for consumers, or is it a technology demo? They need to decide, and if it IS intended for use by consumers, create a seperate site to market their technology for other purposes.

The map part, though, is as fast as the home-page is slow! Very nice presentation, intuitive user controls, optional 3-d rendering with very smooth animation.

Unfortunately, the home page is unbearably slow to come up, which will turn a lot of users off

Java is being invoked.

They're maps are so exact, I see it in my neighborhood, they have each detail. Sadly they have the satellite views outdated respecting how much zoom is available. In google earth I see my home, in map24 I barely see the block, however, since all have the same provider I think this might be fixed soon.

I can see cars parked outside my building quite clearly, the outlines of the balconies on my building are clearly seen, and I am even convinced that I can see shadows of people gathered around the fountain in nearby Balboa Park.
