Orbx is on a roll with their spectacular countrywide renditions, a few months after their release of TrueEarth GB South, the team unwrapped their second instalment covering the central region of Great Britian. Covering a gargantuan area of nearly 60,000 square kilometres, each orthoimagery tile are hand corrected and covers the entirety of the depicted region shown in the coverage map:

The central region brings solid detail to major metropolitan areas such as Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle. Furthermore, the team has created several scenic places such as the Lake District, the Peak District, Snowdonia National Park, the North Yorkshire Moors, and the North Wales Coast/Llandudno. Hundreds of Points of Interest locations lay scattered throughout the central region around areas including Bangor, Caernarfon, Cumbria, Northumbria, and Yorkshire, this will be a treat to those who likes all things medieval like castles and cathedrals.
