[chbot] Drone?

[Robin Gilks]

Thanks for the link to Canterbury Maps, not come across that before  - old
isn't it. At least 4 years judging by the garden features that are missing
and possibly up to 10 years based on tree size. At least Google is only
about 3 years old (but poor resolution).

Neither Canterbury nor Google Maps provide any context though. They don't
give any feeling of scale or distance or size - no sense of place (as Kevin
McCloud would say).

I'll ask about elsewhere - I'm sure there is someone who would like to play
with their new toy!

Cheers
