I was like this close to posting this recently :P thanks for saving me the time. Aren't they sweet!

I saw this one that I can't find anymore, where they change the angle and it zoomed way down to street level.

Wow, this stuff looks amazing. Apart from looking amazing though what applications do they have in real life?
