ivelet.com

Ivelet is a website that shows Bed and Breakfasts, Self Catering and Hotels on a Microsoft Virtual Earth map. The viewer zooms in on their chosen area and by hovering their mouse over the flags that represent the accommodation a popup box shows a summary including a picture. Clicking in the box for more details opens another window (or tab), which shows pretty extensive details.

The main search page shows just the accommodation but the accommodation details page shows a map, which allows the viewer to "find nearest" supermarket, vet, cinema, restaurant, and all sorts of things.

There's very little in the way of page refreshes. Almost everything is in tabs or brought in dynamically by AJAX.

Being based on Virtual Earth means that in larger towns the viewer can see "birds eye" views of their accommodation, in addition to the aerial views.
