While I was sleeping, local.live.com for NZ has had an update!
Somehow I missed this, I didn't see an announcement about it, but a few months ago when NZ coverage was put in place (finally) it really wasn't that good. Sure you could get driving directions, but the actual road maps were pretty bad.
I had a look today and found that things have vastly improved. Local.live.com is now very cool. It has all the roads around New Zealand. I looked at my place and it even has the accessways between streets - very cool.
On top of that, you can get driving directions between locations. For example check out the driving directions from where I work to the Wellington Airport taking the shortest route - compare this to the quickest route (very cool).
It also has aerial imagery, but its not as low as it is in the US (see where I am as I type this for example - yup - in that big building).
Did I mention that it has a very cool API? My mind is buzzing with all the ideas... Very cool.
