I was mucking around in Google this evening, when I clicked “More Tools”. I've been meaning to try Picasa, and I will get to a review of that later.

Right now, I'm here to rave about Google's newest acquisition, Keyhole.  http://www.keyhole.com/

Keyhole is a software application that is a map of the world. Maps have been done before, right? MapQuest and others own that space, don't they?

Not they way KeyHole works. Keyhole is not a map in the sense that you would like driving directions to the store. KeyHole uses satellite images. You can “fly” from place to place. So you can mark your Aunt Mary's place in Wyoming in the map, then mark your place in Florida, and the map will actually “fly” you by satellite photos between the two places (zoom out, recenter, zoom in).

All I can say is, Wow. This is a great idea, and I'm glad the developers got rewarded by being purchased by Google.

You have to see it to believe it.
