Sweet! You can zoom in on the Grand Canyon with the Colorado river view and zoom through the canyon like you are flying. It's a little akward with the controls, but I can imaging somone writing a flight simulator program to interface with this thing.

Damn, my city is not even in the right place! If you ask for "Umuarama, Brazil" it takes you to a completely different state! maybe it´s because in Brazil we have a lot of cities with the same name...

If you wish to see the real Umuarama, search for "Cruzeiro do Oeste, Brazil" and go a little West and you will see it...
