Explore the earth, find somewhere you'd like to see, zoom in really close, then plot the route there.

An awesome way to kill time (works best with a motorcycle)

It is pretty cool. My boss told me of another site that used some satellite that used to be used for spying that would zoom in so close that you could see the cars on the road and could update the image every few minutes to make it somewhat live. He can't remember what the site is. Any else know of such a site? Google earth is close but is really fuzzy.

Keyhole

Google uses data from the Keyhole Satellite for their own setup.

It looks like google earth can provide better quality, where you can see the cars, But you have to pay more

.
Also if you download the .kmz sight seeing locations, they are rather decent quality (which I suspect is what the whole earth turns up as in the pro version)
