I'be been hooked on it for about a month now...Check out the border of Texas/Mexico (Neuvo Larado) all the cars leaving Mexico.

Also check out the Pyramids of Giza, and Mt. Ararat...

Question is why can I see my dog in my backyard but details of North Korea, China, Panama Canal, etc... hmmm ?

I can see the number and types of planes parked on the tarmac at NAS Key West, too.

As well as my house....apparently, I was not home when during the fly-over.

It can map the images on top of topographical data.
Be sure to use the controls that change the viewing angles.
As a private pilot this is an awesome tool to familiarize oneself with unfamiliar terrain. I wish MS flight simulator had this quality.

And they are too lazy at Google to port it to the Mac. :-(
The superior graphics in Macs and OS X this should be fantastic.

I've been playing with it for about a month. There are dynamic layers you can add to it as well. Radar, cloud cover, hurricane model forecasts, time zones, news reports, real time traffic, etc.

There are no limits.
