Google Mars

Just like Google Earth, but on Mars. How cool is that?

I'm annoyed that they didn't put in a scale into the maps though...it's kinda hard to tell how large the features are...

This is like the lunar map they had, which if you zoom in enough, shows Luna to be made of cheese. Cracking cheese, in fact, Gromit.

Indeed. It took me awhile to realize that it in fact shows the entire surface of mars, not just the Tharsis Bulge + Olympus Mons, the Valles Marineris, and the Hellas basin.

Have a very nice day.
