I drove Phoenix to Grand Canyon 2 weeks ago. Apart from the urban centers of a certain size there is nothing there. Vistas of the mountains abound on Flickr.

I recently revisited a drive I took years ago back up from Sedona to the I-40 west of Flagstaff. I do hope that Google gets around to Street mapping more highways (though I can't imagine that anyone other than stay-at-home armchair travellers like me would be interested?). The cool part is putting your cursor as far down the road as Google will let you, then clicking on the little oval and zipping up to that spot. It's what I always wanted travelling to be like!

There are streets with Street View that are only reachable via other streets that are not included simply because they are to the east of this imaginary line. Example: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=45.468092,-73.387213&spn=0.003642,0.016029&z=16&layer=c&cbll=45.46938,-73.387747&panoid=ixIkYDW8xPEkYV5TzR3GUw&cbp=11,213.97,,0,5 It's kind of stupid considering part of Saint-Hubert is not included even though it's much closer to the downtown core than, say, Sainte-Dorothee, Laval.
