Google Maps + Keyhole

I was wondering if Google would actually do this:

A-while-a-go they bought Keyhole, a satellite imaging website which had close-up satellite maps of, well, the world. They have now integrated Keyhole into Google Maps. So, whenever you are looking at Google Maps and trying to find directions, at any time you can click on "satellite" and it will change the symbolic map to an actual photograph of the area of the U.S. map you are looking at. What's even cooler is that it treats the satellite picture just like it treats the map, i.e. you can still zoom, pan, click and drag with the mouse, find nearby restaurants, etc., all while viewing the photograph.

Admittedly, the zoom level won't go all the way to single-street level everywhere, but will in major cities (i.e. new york city, portland, detroit). But this limitation comes with a bonus in that the satellite map exists worldwide but the symbolic map only exists in the U.S.; if you want to drag your way over to Russia, you can.
