Several months ago I posted a 2.5 gigapixel photo that you could zoom in and move around...one with fantastic detail. Here are more photos from the same company. Go to SEE FULL-SCREEN DEMO PHOTO! and use the arrows to scroll, zoom, move, rotate, etc. You could spend hours looking at the many details. Enjoy!

 

If you go to this site there are MANY photos to see.

Cool. I am searching for a proram on the NASA website that allows access to satellite photo's of the entire Earth with many as recent as a few monthes. No luck yet but will let you know when I find it. The resolution is enough to see automobiles.

 

Try this site for some impressive video's.

update: I just read about google:earth, which appears to be similar to what Jim described. Apparently, it doesn't work for Mac's just yet, and I'm not sure about PC's:

I don't see no McDonald on this picture. I do not see any eating taco's people neither.

Do I have to pay attention to discover some Hairy boy on this???

Sorry TX, I thought it was only the Mac download that wasn't available yet. I didn't check the PC.

maps.google.com is fairly good and is a browser window. Default mode is a zoomed out map of the USA but you can click on "satellite" in the upper right hand corner and get satellite views. Resolution varies for various locations in the USA (too bad it doesn't do the rest of the world although you can see a very poor resolution image of the U.K.). It's kind of fun to look at all of the craters at the Nevada Test Site or cruise over to Area 51 (not great resolution there though). I didn't see any aliens...

I can upload the Google Earth app somewhere if you guys want, yep I got in before everone emailed everyone else about this...

 

how cool is it? VERY...especially if you bookmark all your favourite roads (around the globe!) & let it play the animation starting from a satellite position.
