The map and satellite views of Christchurch are fantastic and you can zoom in very close.
Thought this might be helpful for people wanting to get an idea of housing density, locations etc.
I've just been looking in Veronica's back garden... boy does she need a lawn mower
Use the "satellite" and "map" buttons in top right hand corner of map to toggle between map and satellite images. The "hybrid" view will overlay street names on to the satellite image so you can track down property too!
