Upper right hand side click on Satellite.

This is frickin sweet!

You can put in addy's and zoom in on them :)

I did one of a local goverment weapons contractor and its blocked out. But if you do a simple "browse" through of the area you can get it...

Works for military bases also, which is scary. The above mentioned contractor is on part of a current millitary base. The part they are on is now actually warehousing and manufacturing facilities, but the other side still is a base.

It's very cool!!! That Terra one is slightly clearer in some areas though. Google's is much better because it's in color :D

Are you suppose to be able to type in your own address and see it? I've done mine and my parents house, it displays the address, and an image. But it's not right.
