As many of you know Google has a new, very nice map site called http://maps.google.com/<br>Google added a satellite map to same.<br>Just click on "satellite" <br>Then I entered my street address and Google zoomed almost right to my house via satellite. <br>And you can zoom in and out...very, very impressive.<br><br>

Cool, it didn't take long for them to leverage that Keyhole acquisition. If you've got a PC banging around somewhere, you should demo that software, fun stuff.<br><br>

I looked at my old neighborhood in Methuen and it didn't get as close as other satellite maps I've seen. On the Google map my old house was a blob, but I've seen it elsewhere where you could make out the driveway and bushes.<br><br>

Yeah, it's cool...it's just not as good as some others I've seen where you're right...you could make out a guy waving on the rooftop. <br><br>I think at one time, Mapquest of Switchboard offered a really good free one. <br><br>
