I love Google maps solely because they have that street level mode which is incredible. I was looking at the spot Bonnie and Clyde were killed at the other day, and they actually have a marker stone there that is chipped up from taking souvenirs. They have this relatively new thing in Wikipedia that gives coordinates anytime they write about an area and sure enough they gave coordinates where they were killed and you copy and paste that in Google maps and it takes you right there.

Totally agree. I always use Street View so I recognize stores, landmarks, etc.
