At last an alternative for Mexico street-level maps

May 25th, 2006

It used to be that the only option to check Mexico City/Monterrey street-level maps online was fairly mediocre (compared to Google Maps et al.) Guia Roji site (no smooth map scrolling was particularly annoying). Checking out local.live.com after reading TechCrunch article I found out to my delight that it finally had street-level maps at least for Mexico City and Monterrey. Images below are linked to map locations.

The only issue is that I couldn’t get search for streets to work (it searches for places such as stadiums and parks just fine) which somewhat limits its usefulness. If someone knows what I’m doing wrong, feel free to comment.
