There is no amount of money that would pay me to use anything even remotely related to Google. I use Google sharing and all scripts are blocked. Use it at your peril.

Google Earth ( http://www.google.com/earth/index.html ) is also a handy program to have..
Pretty neat. It looks to be almost real time.
a bit buggy. told it to do route with no freeways. took me to freeway. adjusted to walking directions as opposed to cars and still got the freeway. go figure. google would have led me to death. lol. stil. a nice concept. hope they get the bugs out soon. (the call of the 21st century)
second time around had much better luck. I got directions on side roads not the freeway when specified and sped up the animation time. mu-uch better. cool. thanks.
Pretty amazing. I live in Jerkwater USA and they have it all.
Pretty amazing. Only problem is it moves down the highway in real time. A 40 minute trip takes about that long to watch. Plus halfway through the trip it stopped at a bar en route and had a beer and a sandwich. Real bizarre.
The whole thing is rather like the mechanism of a panopticon.
