Google Satellite Navigation

I have always been a sucker for satellite imagery of the earth.  Google is embedding this in its new map search service which is still in beta.  To give it a trial run, go here.  Press the satellite imagery service in the upper right hand corner, then press the "local search" tab at the top of the page and enter something you’re looking for – let’s say "sushi" – and the city and state you want. Let Google do the rest – fascinating. Another way of accessing this is through Google’s Local service, also in beta – for an example, go here, especially the next time you are looking for sushi before catching a flight from the San Francisco airport.
