Keyhole Mapping Product

Has anyone seen this product from Google? It combines satellite image data with street and POI data to produce maps. It also allows layers of data to be added in the 'pro' version of the product to display just about any geographically based information available.

Unfortunately, it requires access to the net to download the images from the server and doesn't have a GPS input, but one can always hope....

Plus, the way it flies and zooms in and out from place to place is flat out cool!

If they had something like this along with the more sophisticated routing and voice functions of the major GPS mapping products, I think they'd find quite a market...

Does anyone know if the usual suspects like D3, Streets & Trips, Routis, etc. have a vision for a product like this?

The website for a 7 day trial is Keyhole
