Microsoft has released a new mapping systems with detailed aerial views of Brooklyn:

Grand Army Plaza
Brooklyn Public Library
Brooklyn Museum
Atlantic Yards
Williamsburgh Savings Bank
Botanic Garden
Underberg
Hot Bird

Photos look to be a few years old, with construction on the Museum, Atlantic Terminal, and a missing fountain in Grand Army Plaza.

This is one of the times I wish my 89-year old grandmother was computer literate. She'd think a color satellite photo of her house was the bee's knees.

Duh, I'll print it out before I visit next time. Whee!

I just noticed yesterday that the 3-D building view works in the hood. That, along with the tilt controls, are my favorite part of GoogleEarth.

GAP is totally flat in GoogleEarth, though, so these images fill in nicely.
