Well, I can see how it would help a poor lost helicopter pilot find his way. Of course, he's not likely to have DSL on the chopper. Pretty fun to play with though!

It's pretty amazing to think that those images were taken from a satilite miles from the earth. Right into your back yard!

Its pretty neat - usefull? dunno

Also i dont get how the images a put togeather - is it all sattelite or a composite of 3d graphics and sattelite imagery?

If its all sattelite im wondering how come all the buldings are grey but other elements such as cars are different colors. - anyone have an idea?
