...THIS SITE (http://local.live.com/) blows Google Map out of the water.

Look, I found my street...

...seriously, fool around with the program, try and find your house or a landmark, you'll be amazed at how close and how clear the pictures are.

First use the "road" mode to find a place, then click on "bird's eye" for the picture version. Once you find what you were looking for, click on the icon that looks like 3 larger buildings and zoom in. You can also change your perspective of the same location by clicking on the "N" "S" "E" "W" letters surrounding the arrow.

BTW....that's Turnberry Dr. off of Youngs in Amherst. Most of those little starter homes go for $500,000 and up <i>and</i> that's in Western New York $'s. :D

Cool site. It doesn't have quite the same resolution for Northern Virginia, but still cool. Nice hood!
