this is really cool I swear... way better than mapquest even.... I mean you get a birds eye view of the area and the closest view that starts to reveal road names is just about right! Now I was just playing around abit but the maps of the bay area do look a bit strange... dunno why??? anyways, u can also look for golf courses or other points of interest which is really the best feature of all!
