Anyone else seen this program?

It takes the maps and satellites functions of GoogleMaps, and adds a whole loada extra features including 3D building images of major cities, tis hella cool

cool, a bit like worldwind in a way, apart from worldwind is not like a map but more of a birds eye view of some towns and scientific stuff

GoogleMaps covers the US and the UK, but GoogleEarth covers the entire Earth in various degrees of detail

edit: view the image here if you wanna see it
