I saw this article [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050816/ap\_on\_hi\_te/amazon\_maps](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050816/ap_on_hi_te/amazon_maps) and thought OMG not another map service. But, I checked it out and it is really cool, it gives you pictures of the area, not just top down.

I searched for my company [http://www.amazon.com/gp/yp/B0004YYMDS/amzna9-4-20/ref=yp\_a9\_1/102-6566618-5832148](http://www.amazon.com/gp/yp/B0004YYMDS/amzna9-4-20/ref=yp_a9_1/102-6566618-5832148) and get pictures like this:

I was looking for a good outside picture of my building on Google and Yahoo the other day and found nothing good. This is really cool, I will have to have a more open mind when everyone and their brother makes a map site. :tie:

\*\*EDIT - holly carp, check out the click to call this business. You put in your phone number, and they call you then connect you to the business. No long distance. Which is cool because I am racking up the long distance here in AK calling the office.
