[AccessD] OT Google maps

Gustav,

Have you used Google Earth?  Same concept as google maps...but with a lot 
more cool features.  I used it a few months ago...I rented a cabin in the 
mountains...looked at it with google earth...and I could tilt the map...and 
see what the mountains looked like from the deck...not a picture perfect 
image...but a great idea of what the terrain looked like.  I then emailed 
the link to my friend that was joining me there.

Another great feature...is that you can zoom on an area...and select what 
type of business you want it to pinpoint for you(banks, gas stations, fast 
food, chinese restaurant).

Some areas have better imagery than others...the parking lot at the google 
campus...you can almost see in the sunroof of a car in the parkinglot.  
Absolutely amazing.

Kinda scary when you think of it...
