Microsoft's online mapping system is very neat.

You can actually move around as if you were touring the city (Seattle or San Fransico at the moment)...
This is very neat... If I was in a hotel room, wanting to find a certain place, I could look for visual cues and hike, if it's not to far of course.... but hey I have walked long distances before... but that's another story.
On this site, you can choose to change the view, to "walk", "race car" or "sports car"... that is a little bit of a gimmick.. but what the heck.
I am impressed with the idea that this presents. Although, it is possible that this could also be used by some people as a tool to be a pest.
Know what I mean???
