The Awesomeness of Google Maps

Does anyone here use Google Maps? I find it to be an incredible tool not just for getting directions, but also for "visiting" locations that you've never been to or would like to be. The street-level images give an immersive and in-person view of locations.

I use Google Earth on my computers and Google Maps on my phone. I use it like an atlas. I also use Google Earth to position aircraft parking spots for AFCADs used in Flight Simulator. Airports are usually pretty well detailed on GE. I also download flight information from Flight Aware for plotting in GE. Pretty cool really.

Silly Mr. Bush, google doesn't know where to find al-Qaeda either.

I love the new oblique views from 4 directions.
