The world wide web never ceases to amaze with the number of innovations we get from it each day such as on-the-go broadband, Facebook, and recently Google Earth. I play around Google Earth last year, and found that this is a wonderful software that may see my house, my friend house, my company and so on. Just like the James Bond movie shows that able to pin point some one in the world.
WikiMapia, an alternative from Google Earth
WikiMapia does not require to download any software, and direct access from their portal.
With using Wikimapia, I found KOMTAR, the tallest building in Penang Island, Malaysia
For this WikiMapia, the best thing I like is , it can show road name , just click on view -> Hybrib you can see all the road name.
With using this kind of wikimapia’s MAP location application, I like to make comparison, see below, both are Penang DAM, new one and old one, see how the different was.
Wikimapia is really a good web application for us to view on all our location around the world. I can use wikimapia to view the location before I visit, to have better understanding of the geography location.

Wikimapia.com thanks for your intro for this product 😛
Google softwares are always impressive but too bad google earth didn’t up to date. I look to my nearest garden using google earth, there is an empty space which today is replaced by super-market – Giant.
google earth is a fantastic tool…i have a fren, when he travelling, he uses this tool to find the location of place to visit. but sad, not all pc can support it. can we use it offline?
i have funny story about google earth before. That time i was looking for house for rent. So i contact a person, and she mention the address of the location that has many house for rent. Im not sure where is the place located, so I used google earth to search. I found it YES! and i print screen the image and send it to my her and asking is this the right place. She said, “oh my im not sure which century is that image come from, there are so many building here now”. We LOL 😛
wuiih nice software. Talk about Gearth, I just try to locate my BF home that I never visit. and its fun to see his house from sky. lol
easier to use this one..no need to install
another good site ..no need software1..but how bout comparison wif google earth?
what a nice site 2 intro…. i try 2 find my place now 😛
don’t forget to mark it 😛
I marked my houses some times ago. It is very creative.
Alvin Nyau && eL> now only i know how out date google are
Amei79 > I don think can support offline, cos it need to search with it database, the graphic are load from their server.
Shireishou > spy your BF will do, Don spy me ooo… 😉
TOLANIC@ POYOZER > you are right, you may mark at the location
it’s better don’t mark ur house..if not all ppl will know ur house
Pretty cool. I wonder if I can see my house on that thing?
oo wikimapia is nice !! we had used it for our project. much convenient than google earth because of the download thingy. hehe.
I normally use Google Earth. But sometimes when I’m not using my own computer and I need to see the map, I’ll surf to http://www.flashearth.com
It’s similar to Wikimapia, they both use Google’s maps and does not require any download/installation, but then Wikimapia provides more information I guess.
Thanks for the introduction of this website!
i want to see my mother land
It seem that wikimapia is more interesting than google earth. Could you please tell me how to registerhere? Thank you so much.
