I just found out about Google Earth (http://earth.google.com/) last night through my roommate. I am so amazed that this kind of information is available for free!!

"Google Earth combines satellite imagery, maps and the power of Google Search to put the world's geographic information at your fingertips."

If you are into geography, cartography, GIS, maps, etc. you should check it out. I was able to pinpoint the exact location of my house, find the elevation gain of the mountain I rode today, and look at Manhattan's skyline in three dimensions.

I have used aerial photographs, maps and GIS for work and really appreciate the value of this kind of information. I am so impressed!!!
