    Although still in beta, this may be the coolest program I've ever used. Get it here.

    Maps are cool and stuff.

    It's freakin amazing. It must've been an hour while I checked out Iraq and Saudi Arabia. I spent a lot of time tracking the way from my place to my parents house. Heh, I guess it appeals to the God complex in me.

    KeyholeLT had the exact same program out about 2 months ago.

    For once, Google is behind. :p

    Yeah, Google bought Keyhole a few months ago. It's a neat program, but it's a bit slow, IMO.

    i agree, very neat, I enjoy playing with the virtual buildings and the 3-D landscapes.

    I am disappointed in the resolution though.
