Hey. Very cool project. I have an idea. How about you add option to show buildings. That way, people can use this to detect shade on their rooftop solar panels and its stuff.

That would be something great

It's something I'm working towards. Right now you can see building shadows at street level zoom, but they're quite rough. Check out shadowmap.org, which is a project that does buildings well.
