Here's yet another unknown Google Map feature.
Go to Google Maps and type in your home address, then when you get a pop-up window, click Street View.

Used Google Map a couple of years ago to locate a hotel in Cancun, great tool for vacation planning. Also spend alot of time looking at airbases/battlefields from WW2, or whats left of them. Some "targets" in Europe and the Pacific still show evidence of bombing/shelling. Street View is pretty cool too, but I don't know if I like everybody looking at me sitting on the porch picking my nose.
