Where can I get satellite view of places? Specifically, Washington DC? I'm looking for an area around the Iwo Jima Victory Monument - Pentagon - White House.

Erm, not to be snotty or sassy, but I said "satellite", or better put aerial.

Thanks Brett, I'm slowly getting somewhere with that. But one more thing, does anyone have a clue what the Lat/Long of the Iwo Jima Victory Monument is?

PS: Whoever can get it gets a cookie! Grin

I got this picture of downtown Toronto form Blade's suggested site. This shrunk down image doesn't do the actual image justice. Outstanding high-res quality satellite pictures.

Check out these pics.
