I agree, Google Earth is pretty nifty though I'm still running Mac 10.3, so no zooming around the globe for me yet. One criticism though: while it is good for checking those roof tiles, the aerial view is not so good for checking whether the brickwork needs repointing, or if the window frames need a lick of paint. I hope the next upgrade to Google Earth takes into account these factors, as well as possibly internal diagnostics (plumbing, electrics, rising damp, etc), I'm sure the tech-wizards at Google can handle that sort of thing.
