I think its time to share this with all Yoindians.
I don't know that how come I have been untoched from this great thing. :?:
But anyways.
I found this here in a forum ::
Its called
Google EarthIts a free service from google.
Here is a comment ::
"For anyone who has ever dreamed of flying..." - NY Times
The idea is simple. It’s a globe that sits inside your PC. You point and zoom to anyplace on the planet that you want to explore. Satellite images and local facts zoom into view. Tap into Google search to show local points of interest and facts. Zoom to a specific address to check out an apartment or hotel. View driving directions and even fly along your route. We invite you to try it now.
Google Earth is free for personal use. No registration is required.

My Comment:
I always dreamsed of such thing on my desktop. And when I saw it running on my PC .. it was so amazing. If you are residing in Canada or USA than you can even see your home. But Alas. that much details are not available for India. For India you can see it as only as if you are viewing it from very big height. I tried to see Delhi and was able to see verious part of Delhi. Alas I was not able to see much detail but I have not seen it properly. I am still playing with it. Today I got my whole day playing with that stuff.
Here some people have posted snapshot.. Seems to be they are getting more details than me. Hope you all people will enjoy.

Please make sure you have a latest and fast PC, I first ran it on OLD (not very old) and than ran on a new computer (very much new) and difference was so awsome.. hence if to enjoy this thing you should make sure you PC is right.

For India its like seeing it while you are flying in a plane and for othe places its like you are just standing on a high building.
