    Default Google Introduces... Satellite Maps!

    This has been out for a few days so Im sure a few of you have already seen this.

    Its a wonderful zoomable satellite image. Click "Satellite" on the top right of the page. Then you can enter your address on the top of the screen and watch your neighboorhood pop up!

    Heres the link to the info... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7394347/

    And Heres the link to the map... http://maps.google.com/maps

    Yeah, there has been satellite stuff like that for years. However I think this is the first to incorporate directions as well.

    yeah i like that microsoft one, it can actually tell what is what, even though it is a little blurry. but i don't like how you can't move it freely, it goes over like 100 yeard at a time, its hard to center something and get everything you want.
