This rival promises to be a better version of Google Earth, with the ability to be able to zoom in to areas as small as 20 metres wide as opposed to Google Earth's 200 metres.

We have seen such promises before though with the French Google Earth rival Geoportail, the MSN rival VirtualEarth, and a Yahoo version that I have not been able to find much information about.
