I would love to see a Google Earth-type map with more detailed labeling of the features and cities you're likely to see out of the window. It would also be cool to see other flights that are within visual distance. It drives me crazy to see the jet pictured horribly out of scale--when it's the size of a small state, for example.

On a related note does anyone know of a tool that allows you to overlay a flight map (say off Flightaware) onto Google Maps and allow zooming in and out? Or perhaps a flight tracker that puts the course on a good map so when I get home I can figure out an interesting feature I flew over? Thanks ^
