Check out www.keyhole.com
And download the 7 day free trial...
It's basically a digitised globe, and you can zoom into any part of the planet in realtime... just like the movies...
And you can do realtime flybys.. overlay roads, borders, placenames, points of interest, etc etc etc it's jawdropping in fact...
I can actually recreate the view from our house!
Depending on the resolution fo the satellite images fo a particular area you can gett down to the point where you can pick out houses, cars and even people!
Google have just bought them and they are beta testing Google Earth. Because I bought the 'Lite' version of keyhole I have access to the Google Earth beta program.. and believe me it's scary! Imagine a digitised planet with all google information available, right down to the nearest pizza hut etc.
Once the goverment gets us all to put GPS transmitters in our cars (arrrggh, not) then we can plot individuals on this thing!

You are probably thinking about maps.google.co.uk ?
Not the same thing at all...
