At pixxures.com the client just entered their ADDRESS. Then the backend (probably a bit too much for
javascript) would return a sattelite view of that address. I believe they were using Russian data or
something. But as I mentioned before, they had serverS that only took requests, cut out images,
returned images. Oh heck, they are still in business, take a look:

But I can't wait for them to serve up any images as they are dreadfully slow.
