A sense of place
Sam is right when he says that 192.com blows google maps out of the water - at least for satellite views at street level. Zoom in on 192's map of my house versus google's map of my house, and you can really see the difference. It's a shame the zoom is inconsistent though - once you zoom out beyond a certain point, it switches back to road maps rather than satellite imagery. It's still pretty cool though.

Google Maps's satellite photo of my house is more recent though - 192.com's photo was taken prior to Oct 2003 and Google's post Oct 2003
