Figured there must be some program somewhere that does it.
If not, there will be one someday, the way computers are going!
No, there won't. You simply can't make up information like that. There is

Type in Sydney and then click on the Sydney link and Satellite view
(maps aren't working yet).
This also takes Lat/Long coords directly into the URL.
Doesn't seem to zoom quite as close as Earth though.
You can do lots of other stuff with GoogleEarth too, like overlay
images, waypoints, maps, tracks etc. You can write database backends to
feed data into the program.

My boss has a brother in the GIS game. Google earth is very
