Yup. Just depends. Here I use several, depending.

Google maps is fast and easy, unless it doesn't show what you want

Probably next is "Bing Maps" (used to be Microsoft maps) and it has a closeup "birds eye" view in many populous areas. Incidently, the "birds eye" is NOT a sat pic, it's taken from low-flying aircraft. You can rotate the birds eye picture, but what you "really" see when you do that is 4 separate shots.

Last, but sometimes most useful, is "Google Earth," but you have to download and install it---it's a program. I use Ubuntu Linux here, so it was a little fuss to get it up and running.

Mapquest left me cold. I've found few places that it works as good or better than Google Maps.

Many, many of these sat pictures are YEARS old.
