Very good.

If you type in
'AZ 86047'

Then you can find 'meteor crater' (you need to search around a bit).

Not bad, shame the resolution isn't great. But could maybe be a handy
tool to find other impact structures...

Howdy

   Ok, this is pretty cool:

http://maps.google.com/

   Google has developed a seamless map database that cross-links to
satellite photos. I scrolled this thing from Manacouagan crater to
Wetumpka crater, then out to Hawaii and "visited" my current home and
my mom's house on the way. This is actually a pretty spectacular site
for locating physical landform features and cross-referencing them to a
road map.
   I can see my house from here!

Enjoy,
MDF
