You are right – the coverage is impressive and any community tools would be welcome.

It’ll be interesting to see what 3D format they choose to import data..

From speaking to the VE team they have said they aim to follow Googles path and allow 3rd party developers to add there own models with a mention of a community tool.

I for one will be glad when we can do this as VE has the best coverage in the uk, far better than Google.
