Great link. Showed some of the guys at the offices they're houses. Pretty impressive stuff. In five years from now, you'll probably be able to view things from the Satellite in realtime... Now wouldn't that be scary. (

Does anyone know of any other sites that will drill down even more. My house pic is still pretty high up.... The City of London site that Zakk mentioned seem to drill even further down...

Thanks.

In Google, my 2 year old house and street exists, on MS it's still an open field.
