What is the huge deal with Google Maps? Sure, I think that their maps are prettier than some other sites, but their whole “new” satellite photo thing really isn’t that revolutionary. I’ve seen that before on various other websites? And it doesn’t even cover all regions. My fourth attempt at pulling up an image brought about the website saying that it didn’t have enough imagery detail to display that location.

I’m not saying it’s not cool, because it is. I’m just saying it’s not new and am not sure why it’s making the headlines in the news.
