Love this application! My kids love it too!
Some of the satellite maps have even been 3D enhanced... The Manhattan Scrapers, and Hover Damm are two that I'm aware of.
Hopefully they will refine the search function a bit more.
Not sure how it works, and why it doesn't work for all addresses - but if I type in my street and house number in the search box - it zooms right in there, from anywhere in the world! But it has problems with the Eiffel Tower...
I guess it goes by importance!
Yes it's a great bit of fun. They even do one for the Moon! I love the pan & tilt functons.

See my comment in Ross' posting about SketchUp
Yes, it's really great - the g-force navigation option is horribly realistic! It wd. seem that you can only enter 'postal' addresses. No luck with Great Wall of China, Ayres Rock, Pyramids, etc. But the Moon site definitely worth a visit!
