The new hybrid view where they overlay the map on the satellite image is awesome.


MapQuest offered satelite images for a brief moment about a year ago. I grabbed down as many views of my property as I could at the time.
The Google images don't zoom as close as the MapQuest did- at least for my 'back woods' property.
Max zoom is probably to the same level for habited areas, though.
Not much point in zooming in on shrubs and dirt, I guess.
Other fun with maps is at USGS site:

and there seems to be a few new things over here, too:
