Yeah, this softwares been out for ages, it used to be under the name and company 'Keyhole' I used it back in 2002 etc, and i found it amazing, since then the quality has become superb in places and better in others, google are really taking this project on and trying to make it huge, I find it great for directions. Enter two postcodes or places etc and it gives you step-by-step directions, great!

Plus the 3-D buildings are a huge improvement.

Anyway, toodle pip guys.
