This is a new program from google that lets you see anywhere in the world. It looks like one of those nifty spy cameras like in Men In Black that zooms into any spot on the glob. I was completely taken aback by how close it zooms into. I was able to find my house, see my car parked in the driveway, and people walking down the street!! The only drawback is the pictures you are seeing are relatively old, it's not anywhere near real time. I'm talking like months past.
 
If you like that you'll also probably enjoy Google maps. You can use a "satellite" or "hybrid" view of the maps. Actually comes in handy because you can see landmarks and stuff near the places you will be traveling. I was completely stoked the first time I used it. It's also good for finding stuff you can see from the sky, like tennis courts, public pools, parks, etc. Enjoy!

Yep. I used to use Yahoo Maps or MapQuest until I learned about Google Maps. Google Maps is the best.
