I've mostly used Google Maps or Google Earth by themselves, but came across this site when trying to find aerial pictures for my friend who's visiting where I used to go to school(UCSD).

It seems to be google maps, but with users able to outline areas and tag it with information. Most prominent areas and buildings are covered, including my favorite hidden trail. I wonder how many more tourists are going down that place now that it's listed on the web and easy to find. The entrance was hidden by bushes so only the surfers used it, but I'd imagine more curious ppl will go there now. The cliff's are eroding, so there will definitely be more lifeguard rescues when wanderers go down that place!
