If you have been 'Googleing' around in Google Earth a bit and you have figured out how to turn on/off certrain features (like Flightsimulator-mode), you might also have played around with 3D buildings.
Yes, with older computers the rendering takes its sweet time, but the results are very impressive. Several people have really made these buildings stand out.
I once made my own home in SketchUp from Google and I had to post it several times, because Google kept denying the entry. In that time, our house was the only one not registered in StreetView, while the whol region was. And Google insisted on having the StreetView-images used as texturing for the 3D-model.
Anyway, check out this views. It's almost like you're visiting "Madurodam", wakling around the tiny version of the real Dutch buildings.
Here's a "how to" for when you haven't used this option yet:
