Wikimapia Mapping

Product: Mapping and Satellite Imagery

wikimapia.org

WikiMapia is a Web 2.0 project to describe the whole planet Earth. It was created by Alexandre Koriakine and Evgeniy Saveliev, inspired by Google maps and Wikipedia.

This program has some cool features including geolocation on IP addresses. You can also create an account and save locations, create overlays/polygons, and measure distances and area. The imagery is pretty impressive for some locations.
