    Based on how far in you can zoom, and the amount of detail you can view pretty much whatever you want, thought this might be a neat little tool people might like to try out. Its all satellite images. They are a few years old, but gives you a good idea of the area. You can even tilt it down and look at the elevation changes.

    Is this better than NASA's World Wind?

    edit: nevermind, it is.
