I wrote a simple program which:
1. converts latitude and longitude to image number for kh.g__gle.com
2. downloads images from kh.g__gle.com
3. stitches downloaded images to one large satellite image
4. stamps the latitude and longitude of image corners

If you are interested you can find it here

You can just enter a zip code (US) or postal code (Canada) to go to an address.

This is not as cool as the satellite imagery (I just spent 10 minutes dragging around New York :-)), but I found a ‘easter egg’ in google maps!
See my blog for details.
