Finally got it to work, but it took trying four separate browsers before it did (including MSIE 5.2 for Mac). Firefox 1.5 for Mac didn't work. Only Camino worked.

In typical Microsoft fashion, they appear to be using proprietary technologies that aren't compatible with non-IE browsers. Screw 'em. Google Maps works fine for me. Aerial photographs might be good for sightseeing, but it's worthless for helping to find locations unless you're Inspector Gadget with his helicopter hat.
