Microsoft's Virtual Earth

Microsoft is upping the ante in Internet mapping.

They are dispatching crews with 10 cameras per vehicle and photographing every street/building in a city. (10 million pictures for Seattle.)

You type in an address and it not only shows you a map with optional satellite/aerial photos, it also shows you pictures of the street. You can take a virtual drive/tour though the city. Currently only works for Seattle and San Francisco.
