Virtual Earth
Heard of GoogleEarth? Well, this 'Virtual Earth' has got not only Google's imagery but also Microsoft VE and Yahoo! Maps as well!.
No imagery available? No problem, just select another image provider - for example, if you search for Shoalhaven Heads you can view the satellite imagery from Google, but if you enter Sydney - Microsoft VE works, but Google doesn't... go figure.
The main thing is, it's an amazing experience if you haven't seen it before. Just remember that the imagery is often months and sometimes years old. Our house renovations are still not visible, so they haven't grabbed any pics from space lately! Enjoy.
Tip: You can use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out.
