Google has released a free desktop software program to get you access to a huge amount of planetary imagining data - for free. I'm not sure how this (and their other free software such as Picasa and Goggle Desktop) generates revenue for Google shareholders, but I have to admit the software is pretty cool. They do sell and upgrade for $20 US per year that offers integration with GPS trackers.

I noticed it only works for large metropolitan areas, but that's fine for me - I live in a large metropolitan area!

And the data is a few years old. Of course it IS free so I shouldn't complain.

I like it a lot, but i only have dialup, i wonder, is it better with DSL or cable? Can't focus up close.

Hey apparently Google has partnered with National Geographic to put all of the articles they've done on Africa on the Africa maps, as well as include more detailed photos. I think this is a very cool idea and it's great in action.
You can read more about it on Google's blog.
