Google's latest acquisition is keyhole.com. It's aerial and satellite photos of most of the world. There's a client program that runs on your computer with which you can search, zoom, tilt, label, and save locations. It's got layers like GIS, too, though they're empty in most places.
Some of the larger cities are in very high resolutions, though Cambridge, MA (MIT, Harvard) takes the prize with 3 inch resolution.
I think you really need a broadband connection to make it worth trying to use; the client itself is 9 megabytes, and it's constantly pulling in data as you move and zoom in.
BTW, it's not free. You get a 7 day trial, then it's $29 per year for personal use and $599 for commercial users.
