It seems the folks at Google don't know when to stop! First they up the email capacity on Gmail, now they introduce Satellite images in Google Maps.
This is very cool technology. The coverage is a bit spotty right now, but it does work. I tried to grab a shot of Edmonton, but it doesn't have the resolution images yet. Kelowna, on the other hand does. You'll see the map and images in the photos to the left.
What was really cool was just scrolling around and seeing the terrain. I found this ancient impact crater in Northern Alberta, just west of Wood Buffalo National Park.
