Google's Satellite Maps

I donno whether this is a coincidence or not but lately I am visiting lots of maps and related sites. But this once is going top them all. Google recently came up with satellite map in their map website http://maps.google.com. You can type any address in USA and they will give the detailed map of that location. On the top right corner there will be hyperlink called "satellite". If you click that after you get the detailed map for an address, POP! you will get the satellite picture for that address.

What is great is that you can click and drag the map so that you see the areas next to that detailed address also. This will give a pretty good oppurtunity for people to see what it will when we watch from a birds eye perspective. So you dont have to fly on a airplane over New York city to see how New York will look from an top view. Try google satellite map now !!!

Especially if you live in USA you will amazed to see you neighbourhood from a zoomed satellite view. Personally I like the drag feature where you can drag and see your next city etc.
