I used Google earth before but this mapping feature is really slick. Zoom down to an area of say flint and move the little guy over the spot you want to look at. Also do a full page view and spin around 360.

Im sure you know you can use this program for just about anywhere in the US. I went to our old Florida spot and panned around.

Google Street View is cool (unless you get a bus or a semi in the way. grr)

Another neat map feature is on bing.com/maps - the birdseye view.

By the way, there used to be a website that went through google street view images and picked out the funny or scary ones.
