i remember back in the 90s i think, there was a website where you could get free satelite images, not real time or anything but you could see shit you wanted to. i thought it was called terrasphere or something like that.... anyone remember it, and know if its still around? thanks.
Nasa actually provided that and it works great I have it installed its called Worldwind and its better than google in a lot of ways
Just incase you are inbterested here is the link. Google works great but this you got to see its really cool. http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/screenshots-sl.html
