check out the sattelite feature - there isnt any good coverage of the UK yet, but you can pretty much zoom in to your own back yard if you live in the US!

The white house is blurred out - you can still see the surroundings though. I cant find the Pentagon building though.

Yeh, they seem to be down at the moment, it happened earlier aswell, but they were back within 15 mins.

EDIT: for us brits there is multimap.com - not nearly as good, but its still cool.

Silentscream__, what you showed is NOT the white house... It is the US capitol building.  The white house is due west and about a block north.  The pentagon is to the south west, across  the potomac river. <

Area 51 does not exist  dry.gif  - that is just a glitch in Google Satalite Imagery. <
