An astonishingly intimate view; see fields and rivers in Anglesey,
Liverpool, Iraq,
Western Australia as easy as pushing a button, find the highest point on
Ararat, find your house (though you have to imagine the garden gnomes),
make
the earth spin and stop as you choose. Google Earth.

"The Fly To feature accepts an address, place name, cross street or
simple
Latitude/Longitude coordinates and zooms you quickly in to the specified
location, typically stopping at an altitude of about 3,000 feet above
ground. From this point, use the controls to zoom, tilt, pan or rotate
the
view.
Checkboxes next to the navigation controls allow you to overlay lodging,
roads, terrain, dining, geographical borders and 3D buildings over the
satellite image. Even more overlays are available using the "layers"
features.
Additional layers allow you to overlay data points of geographic interest
over images."
