This is the coolest mapping thing I've seen in some time. I love using Google Street View but I also love the Bird's Eye view of Microsoft's Virtual Earth. Google satellite view gives another great view point depending on what you are looking for.
I found a site that allows you to combine all three views into one map and then embed the custom map into a web page or blog.
The really neat thing is as you move around in the Google maps, the Bird's Eye view also moves. When you rotate the view in Google Street view, the Bird's Eye view also gets rotated.
It's a great way to get a good feel for a neighborhood from several different angles.
I just stumbled upon this and am just playing around with it. Let me know what you think.
StreetCities.com also has some other maps that you can create. Take time to check them out.
