Googleearth, not google maps. It's a gigantic application you download and 
install. Runs OK with dual-core CPU and 2GB of RAM and a good display 
controller. If you've not seen it, it will shock you. A full navigable map 
of the entire earth, from space down to 200 feet. Some of the satellite 
photos are 4 years old, but some a new; reconnaisance satellites constantly 
re-photo continuously.

If you think keystroke capturing bad, wait til you see your own backyard 
from space. I can count the square footage of your illegal bedroom addition 
from here :-)


(Seriously, cities will do that soon enough... tax collected retroactively.)

This sword has two razor sharp edges.
