I was also thinking about how MS Flight Simulator used all of that satellite imagery. You can’t tell me that someone couldn’t find an awesome game using their maps and street view horde which by now includes 3D models of a ton of places, but I don’t see anyone betting on Google for a critical dependency until they have a new CEO and convincing culture change.
