Again with the overhead imagery
This is a cool site devoted to interesting satellite imagery pulled from Google maps.
This is an interesting site devoted to hacking Google maps. Lots of it is over my head, but there's some interesting stuff. Specifically, you can indeed enter latitude & longitude into Google maps. However, it looks like you've got to do it in decimal form, and not minutes and seconds. So, soon as I find a site that'll show me how to do that, I can really start digging.

Converting to decimal:
Remember that minutes and seconds are in 60ths, so if something is X degrees, Y minutes, and Z seconds, the decimal equivalent is X + Y/60 + Z/3600. Western hemisphere longitudes and Southern hemisphere latitudes are negative.
