Just like google earth but for mars. Not many houses visible thoughhttp://www.google.com/mars/🙂
The link you gave is actually the Google Maps equivalent for mars and has been available for some time.
However last month Google released version 5 of Google Earth which also now comes with Mars in 3d and all! Also try out Google sky if you haven't yet.
Also version 5 greatly enhanced the oceans in Google earth.
