Flash Earth was created by Google. It consists of several satellite and aerial photos. The interface is really easy to use. I zoomed into Greenland. The above photo depicts a Greenland glacier emptying into the ocean. The resolution and load time is great.
I have been learning a little about Flash at GMU. I am really enjoying it...probably a little too much since I stayed up late last night having fun making animated symbols. They are so cool but if you are not careful, they can be really obnoxious. Hopefully I haven't annoyed anyone!

I did a search on Google for "Flash Maps" and I found a company who markets maps enhanced with Adobe FLash. For $399 you could have a map like this one! If I get good enough at this in my Map Design class, I could be making the big bucks too!
