The Earth program is far better than Google Maps. It can do seamless zooming from "outer space" levels to super close-up. You can change the view so you're looking at the surface of the earth at an angle and it will show you the terrain in 3D. I've been to K2, Everest, and the many peaks in the western United States. They're all rendered real-time in 3D. Also, some cities even have 3D added on top of the maps. Mind-blowing.
