Where to go from here

Turkey

The next step would of course be Google Galaxy. Or Google Milkyway, if that doesn't result in a law suite. I'd like to be able to surf on the Mars, on the Moon or even on Uranus like I can on the Earth with Google Earth.

And it would be nice to be able to zoom out to the Galaxy or even further out, for example. The data needed for that is available already.

The next thing I noticed is the lack of buildings. Isn't there data available about buildings in Austria, for example? The target audiences for Google Earth include defense, intelligence and homeland security -- they'd probably like to look at buildings as well.

Then, last but not least: How about including the roadmaps of Europe from Google Earth in Google Maps, too?
