As a transportation engineer/planner, I'm always interested in checking out the latest mapping technologies. Thanks to Google Maps there has been a huge amount of progress in displaying maps and satellite images in the last month or so. This new site has taken the high quality resolutions available from Terra Server and displays them on top of the vastly better Google Maps interface. Even if you don't use aerial maps for a living, the quality of Terra Server aerials on top of the ease-of-use Google Maps is a very welcome develoment! Thank you David for putting this together!
BTW, you have to scroll down the page a little to get to the map... I'm sure someone will take a technology like this to its own page at some point! Then we'll be able to resize the google map to get a full screen of aerials!!!
