Google Maps has satellite action

Thanks to my friend Rick for alerting me to the niftiness of the Google Maps satellite photo feature. All of the features available with regular Google Maps can be superimposed on satellite photos. Now, if Google Maps could just lay the street info over the photos, it'll be like the ESRI GIS stuff I did back in library school. Add mapable data, and it could be unstoppable. That, and, well, better Google Local data on libraries (I can't get a map of Somerville Public using the query "library near somerville, ma").
