The REAL Napster

This will not work except for some high visiblility areas they have the extra zoom data on. Tried it on a number of locations and they simply didn't have the data. The images were also watermarked '2006 Google' so that leads me to beleive you won't get up to date images ike you want. Just a heads up.
