Anyone seen these yet? maps.google.com?

Unfortunately, only urban/metropolitan areas are covered by the hi-res satellite pictures, but if you pick Bishop for example, you can pick out every single boulder at the Happies and Sads... pretty impressive..

yeah, it's very cool but no European coverage as yet I don't think?

if you scroll far left/right/up/down you get a really accurate impression of the world as America sees it...
