Google sattelite maps Google's latest feature is that you cannot only look up a map for a certain address or area, but even can zoom in with the satellite map database that they bought. It's amazing how detailed these maps are. Too bad it's only the US for now (I think), but it's a great feature anyway. I checked out the two places where I lived in the US, and both houses are still there, no big changes around them either. It was also nice to see the running track where I did my daily 2 hour practice at Valdosta High School, also there no changes in over 16 years (wow, time flies...). Of course new site using these maps pop up right away. One of them lets you upload sattelite pictures of famous or interesting landmarks. Check it out here (thanks to Dave Winer) if you want to see for example Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch or Alcatraz. 11:18:06 AM    comment []
