Alex's is the Swiss Army Knife of NSW mapping :)

I have used your version often Tom and will continue to do so. I really like the slider and the default view of map/imagery.
Apart from all of the interesting layers, historic map views etc Alex has an advantage for me with the search feature.

That is very useful and I'll be checking it out in more detail.

I still love my old paper maps Roger, even those that I've sticky taped back together multiple times.
I have them semi catalogued by region in separate folders.
