Google Maps prompts advertising on roofs

Advertisers are slowly discovering the potential of Google Maps, and some, like the Target store above (more at Google Sightseeing), are even enjoying some unexpected windfall.

Let's be serious! Considering a lot of the Google Maps satellite photos are over 1-2 years old, I think this is a Target store which is simply helping emergency services to locate their store and potentially doing a little branding to airline passengers (location is in a flight pattern for O'Hare) rather than "discovering" the value of rooftop ads.

Don't get me wrong... As the usage of mobile wireless grows and more users are utilizing these maps, I think that it's an idea with legs. Now... it's just way ahead of its time!
