  • Satellite & Terrain views from Google Maps would be a big addition! Google's street maps currently only cover a small fraction of the world. wade 19:46, 15 May 2008 (EDT)
  • The ability to read layers (like photos and wikipedia articles) from Google Earth would be amazing! wade 19:46, 15 May 2008 (EDT)
