I had been doing similar lookups on the <a href="http://maps.massgis.state.ma.us/MassGISColorOrthos/viewer.htm" rel="nofollow">MassGIS Ortho</a> viewer site! The Google site is much, MUCH faster than the MassGIS site and almost as good resolution. Also, the Google satellite images can be panned by dragging ... very nice and pretty reasonablly responsive!! [BTW, The MassGIS site photos are aerial photos taken at ~ 15,000 ft. not satellite photos!. The MassGIS site has a lookup by address but it is much slower than Google's and it doesn't zoom in to the location you identify. It takes quite a few 'zoom' mouse clicks and waits to zoom in like Google. ] I just tried it today (4/5 ~ 9PM EDT) and it works very well (on Cable internet connection).

The graphics look lame and took forever to load, even with our broadband connection. Then I tried the satellite view and the graphics looked about as I expected, but they took even longer to load. It might be a nice feature next year when it gets out of beta, but I don't think it's ready for prime-time yet. We have DSL and I just tried typing in our company address.
