Check this out:

Slick new option to toggle from map to satellite image. Some areas in
Canada & US are covered by very high res images. Nice complement to a
topo map for planning your next Jeep trip. MapQuest is doomed.

Mapquest used to have the photos tied into their maps, very handy. I
suspect they were dropped due to cost. google will probably do the same
after they get their clientel built up.

And it's lacking in accuracy, I checked my parent's house and it's about 20
houses off...
