Click to expand...

Well even Delhi is at a very high level....Hope you tried some
address in US. Basically I can see the roof of my house...i.e., neighbors
swimming pools and so on.... details to that level.....

Also three d view of manjor city buildings and all sorts of overlays...for select covered cities.....San Francsico for example.....detailed roads, streets ...
 
very good tool

Thanks for the link, its a very useful and fun tool.
 
This is real cool stuff. As mentioned earlier in the posts, you can actually drill down to the roof top of your house, but unfortunately that is only limited to some parts(developed) of the world. If we are limited to US and Europe than i think mapquest would better solve the issue of roadmaps and addresses.

I tried searching for some ZIP adresses and it gave all wrong locations to my queries.

The Satelite images also seem to be quite old as new landmarks do not appear in them.

This has also figured on Indiatimes http://people.indiatimes.com/xfiles/1172203.cms
