James, you mention lots of great uses for Google Maps that I hope they will implement someday but here's one you didn't mention and its business-related: marketing database cleansing on the cheap. When trying to ensure the mailing address provided is a business one, I use the satellite photos together with the address searching and find its a big help. Not ideal for examining lots of records, but for a few here and there it works -- and you can't beat the price! I blogged a bit more in detail about it at: http://marketingroi.blogspot.com/2005/09/one-free-tool-for-better-prospect.html
