It's been really good to see the streets where my gt gt grandparents lived but they still need to add more so I can go in search of the other lot !
Makes me dizzy if I've not tried it for a while

This would be great but when I click on the map I just get a grey screen which virtually covers the map with a red cross top left which I cannot get rid of to see the rest of the map. Why is this???

Maybe it would be worth asking on Computer Help ?

I just love this site, as I can't get to London often enough.
(If anyone needs any photos in central London I might be able to oblige on my next trip in February.)
