Google Maps Now Adds Satellite Imagery

I'm a little slow on this one as I've been busy playing with the awesome new addition to Google Maps, satellite views. This is a feature that disappeared from MapQuest some time ago, and now Google has implemented it thanks to the previous addition of Keyhole Corp. to their portfolio. It's incredible fast and seamless and sets the bar for online maps and direction services. With the recent traffic data systems addition Google is working on, Google Maps is soon to pull ahead as the undisputed online map source.
