Oh, for Christ's sake, folks! Y'all are looking at this whole Google
Maps thing the wrong way. Try this:

    ---===it's FREE===---

It will not locate each hair on your head or make the longer-lasting light
bulb, but it serves well as another tool in your cartographical toolbox.
I've found it to be very useful for starting with an overhead view and
then reverting to a map, to serve as a starting point for a more detailed
site like Terraserver. This is especially useful when you've got a site
without a street address, such as ...here we go again... Manacougan
crater!

Now, as an aside - I'm told that the nuclear test craters north of Mercury,
NV are quite striking. Have a blast, so to speak.

Cheers,
MDF
