Google Earth is basically the greatest map of all time. Not only is it extremely accurate in its projection (because it is shaped like a globe and as you zoom in it is able to adapt new projections) but it also has every kind of map embedded in it or available to download as a add-on. For instance, the map displayed above is a plainmetric map layered with a satellite image, with an application that lets you compare it to a historical black & white aerial map with the capacity to zoom into street view AND see images in 3D. I've seen maps that show the floods of a tsunami. You can travel along the mid-Atlantic ridge or the Rockie mountain ranges.
