    Look for famous landmarks like Mount Rushmore or the Eiffel Tower. Also, check out street view. Too cool!

    Does anyone here play Tower Defense games? Does anyone here know what a Tower Defense game is?

    If you answered "Yes" (or even "Maybe, I think") and you liked Google Map Quest, you'll love this.
