Google Satellite

Google Maps has now added a new function where you can see a satellite view of your query. For example, here is a view of the White House. Not sure if it works overseas, but I suspect not, since certain countries prohibit satellite pictures being taken of locales under their jurisdiction. But for the United States, it works pretty darn well. Have fun!
