Hah, my entire city looks like crap, and it's the choppiest webmap I've ever used.  They have a loot of work ahead if they want to compete.

Mine is black and white as well.  In addition, the satellite image is so old that my house isn't built in it yet... :(

Yeah, the image I'm getting is fairly old also.  I know that because there is only 1 car at the house and I don't recognize it.  ::)

Judging by lack of a bunch of rides, I'm going to say that the Six Flags Magic Mountain birdseye files were all Pre-2002ish~. Birdseye = kind of cool, yet confusing, feature.
