Rich,
The 3D imaging has been around for a while. Another
feature is Street View. Certain areas (Miami,
Chicago, San Diego and others) contain a street view.
In street view you can view street level photographs
(select cities), take virtual walks; pan, rotate and
zoom, explore cityscapes, landmarks, oints
of interest. Check it out, it is pretty good.
Check out this site for some sightings during street
view.
