I see from the current incarnation of the page that you've sussed the  
"force to satellite" bit, and it works nicely on Firefox as well.  
Safari doesn't fare quite so well, but that's not your fault.

Nice of Google to publish the API! It would be nice to see the  
sliding scale on the zoom controls though, and maybe a form to let us  
enter our own coordinates :-)

I was a bit surprised to see the southern hemisphere coordinates - I  
wasn't aware they had such detailed coverage yet outside of the USA  
and Europe. Things are looking up.

Anyway, well done Andrew!
