they are working on a gps like system for vw cars:bra href="http://blog.deadlycomputer.com/2006/02/12/39/"blog post/abrBut as far as i can remember there were websites online that allowed you to view your house from space (terraserver anyone?). And, the images always sucked, and were always 20 years old.brGoogle just wanted to update that index.brBesides, Google Earth started out as Keyhole. Keyhole was one of the things google bought with its ipo money. When google finds something it likes, it puts their entire force behind it.brbrI also agree that google will be the future rulers of the world in about 2 years, but i dont think that has as much to do with the rest of this post. brbr
