Google Map ?
Has anyone seen this yet ? I have been fucking around with this all day.
http://maps.google.com
If yer fuckin' bored, type in BB2 3LX (where I used to live) and then scroll down to see how close I was to the football ground !!!
No wonder I became addicted to Blackburn Rovers !!!
There's also a railway line around the back, but fortunately, I didn't become a train spotter...

Ah yeah. This is the one that my lil bro told me about but as you had to install some shit, I didn't bother cuz I couldn't be arsed to find out if it was spyware and virus free.
He said it was really good. But with this online version you don't need any software other than your browser.

Well, you can zoom right into many military bases. Some countries have complained about it including, I think, India. I can understand how one wouldn't want satalite images of their military bases and government buildings on the Internet for any terrorist or enemy to see.
