Google Earth is great; I use it a lot. I just saw and heard about this new feature yesterday. Haven't checked it out yet though.

Somebody in one of my classes a couple years ago found it and I was hooked on it when I first used it. Google can do some fascinating things. One of my friends found a particularly interesting one: If you go to Google Maps, Get Directions, from New York, New York to Paris, France and look at #23 it's a hoot. If you have the time try it.
