Satellite Maps with Google
Google just added high-resolution satellite images to their maps service. Obviously, the image data is provided by Keyhole, a company that specializes in sattelite images that has been acquired by Google in October 2004. To see these, just do a search on Google Maps. If there is an image for the location, you can click Satellite in the upper right corner. The satellite image offers the same kind of scrolling that surprised the web crowd when Google first introduced the maps.
