The talk of the day/night.

Hi DIRX staff,

I posted yesterday on the members only DIR-lists from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany that the place to be is www.direxplorers.com!

But It’s a pity that there’s not a detailed map for Europe …

My buddy’s balloon is in Aalst/Affligem and my balloon is in Hoegaarden.
Not exactly around the corner of Antwerp… but I can only guess that the British love Belgium beer since the two cities are brewing beer…

Maybe if we ever come to meet -you folks from DIRX- we definitely need to take “Koninckskes”. That way you all will now where Antwerp is…

Greetings,
Hilde

Hi Hilde...

You need to zoom in - using the scale on the left hand side - it goes down to street level

(If you click on satelite view then in some built up areas even the houses come into view as well) How detailed do you want it to be :D

You can erase your entry and do it again if you like....

-EDIT-

I'm sorry

I just tried it over Belgium and you are right - it's not very good is it - although the Satelite view is better so try that.

Unfortunately we are in the hands of Google but I'm sure Techadmin will upgrade us as and when possible.

Hi Claire,

I guess our country is just too small. But we try to keep up a reputation though :-))

Well, I for one can´t complain alltough Denmark is a pretty small place too. When viewing Copenhagen in satelite mode, I can almost count the pedestrians on the sidewalk :p
