Pattern Altitude
Have you guys seen this? It's a new feature/program from Google. Different from their maps/sat pics though. This is a 3/D (sort of) program that you can "zoom" into any address or location, then tilt the picture at an angle, turn it, etc. You can also have it highlight various things like hotels, businesses etc which are clickable in any view.
I've been playing with it by zooming into various airports, tilting the pic like I'm on final and I am amazed at the clarity of the pics. You can clearly see the numbers, runway marking etc. Pretty cool for taking a look at a new airport you've never been to before and getting an idea what it looks like.
Warning! It's for broadband connections though...
