Windows Live Local

Windows Live Local was mentioned in another thread, and it's amazing!

http://local.live.com

It's another aerial photo site, like Google Earth or Multimap, but it's got some incredibly high resolution coverage. Some areas even have "oblique" shots, as well as vertical which allow you to "look around" and area. Better still, these images are relatively new (I'd guess last year or so), whereas a lot of the other stuff is about 5 years old.

Excellent site. However, there are images that are a lot older than 5 years there. Our off road site is still a turf farm and we have been there 6 years!!!

But yes, very good and very addictive
