    How to tell if a road is dirt or paved

    So...learned something new today. I usually use Google maps for everything, but if you map something on Bing maps, it will tell you if a road is dirt or paved. Super useful information if one is looking for a house up in the canyons and would like to know if the road into the neighborhood is paved or dirt. I'm ok riding on dirt, but would rather not have more than like a mile of dirt roads to contend with.

    On google maps, can't you just switch to the satellite view?
