This is one of the times I wish my 89-year old grandmother was computer literate. She'd think a color satellite photo of her house was the bee's knees.

I just noticed yesterday that the 3-D building view works in the hood. That, along with the tilt controls, are my favorite part of GoogleEarth.

GAP is totally flat in GoogleEarth, though, so these images fill in nicely.

this is really cool!
