I found this a while ago and decided to share it with those who don't already know. Probably the most interesting Google Maps mashup yet, Goggles lets you fly a 3D biplane. But, you must start at a major city. It even lets you shoot at the things below you. Some things that Goggles leaves to be wanted are 3D building (but that would probably on come from use of Virtual Earth 3D and IE7), a more detailed plane, and for the things you shoot to blow up and not come back. But, then again it is in beta.

There have been rumors for quite some time now. But now its official! Google has added a Click to Call feature to Google Maps. It works a lot like Jajah, you enter the number of the phone you want to use to call and then click on the call button. Your phone will ring. Then their phone will ring when you pick yours up. It works using Google Talk and Skype technology. But it also has a little bit more VOIP under the hood. This feature is completely free and very useful for someone looking to order or trying to prank call someone without being found out.

Windows Live Local has had this feature for quite a while though...

NOTE:
You can only call businesses with this feature.
