Interested in maps from Switzerland? They are of very high quality as well:

There are a lot of different overlays as well as older versions available. I especially recommend the 'Dufour Map' and the 'Siegfried Map' from the 19th century, the earliest official maps of the country.



Similarly, the French government has some great maps up: http://www.geoportail.gouv.fr/accueil

It's in French, unfortunately for the Anglophone world, but they also have aerial maps dating back to the 30s under the advanced explorer.


Wow, thanks! I've been using the SwissMobility maps, which is mostly using the same data, but this is way more slick (and faster). Check out the embedding options! That's really cool.

Now, if only they had a mobile app...
