Amazing 3D mapping of Brighton June 17, 2007
Microsoft has recently launched Virtual Earth, with just 2 places in the UK, Brighton and Swindon being mapped so far.

Once you’ve got the hang of controlling things it’s amazing (try holding down control and using your arrow keys along with the mouse- you can whizz around pretty quickly before long).
