Holy crap, that's amazing. I was impressed just panning around, when I realized you could zoom my brain almost melted.

My buddy showed this to me a couple months back. Its so cool, you can zoom in and read the license plates on vehicles. I remember finding a yellow Ferrari 3/4 up the way in the Burj.
