thats pretty cool -- here in northern Va, the state police (or maybe its the county police, can't remember now) -- have a private track that they use for training link


they use to sponser charity events there --- but since sept 11, they've stopped doing that. 🙁
 
Anyone else notice, the Sat images are all upside down? Guess that's why it's still BETA!

not nearly as easy to use though.

Yeah, that's true.
But I was just looking at terraserver for the first time in forever- the pictures are larger and easier to manipulate (zoom, etc.), and the more recent batches of photos are much higher quality.
Google maps is beta, though, and directions are cool 🙂

Follow that link and zoom all the way in. The rocket will be laying on the left side of the page. You can't miss it.
