Na, it was a site for earth views from satellite. You could enter an address and zoom up to a block or so. Somebody said something about Grump using it to bid a roof.

About a year ago or so.

Re: Hey Prowall....sky Pics?

This one is well worth yout time too.

In the right places it can make 3d flythrough images for you to manipulate and 'fly' in.

Not to the computer game level of detail or realism yet but coming up on it.
