Hey guys,
I've found Google Earth to be an awesome program for GA flight planning purposes. The program gives you a detailed sattelite map of most urban areas (and their surrounding areas). It's good for GA planning because you can identify nearby buildings, roads, etc. - especially if it's an airport you're unfamiliar with. The rotation and movement features actually allow you to approach the airfield like you would in flight.
Even if you don't use it for flight purposes, it's still pretty awesome - check it out ... http://earth.google.com/
