Beerswarm is a mapping service similar to Google Maps, in that it allows the user to observe the map of Te World fro a distance or at close range. Similar to Google Maps, it allows you to see satellite imagery, terrain maps and open street maps. It doesn't offer route planning in the way that Google Maps does and it doesn't offer the ability to see things like local attractions. It does have a search function, where you can type a particular place and it will zoom in on it.
