Yeah, it's so good that I forget I'm using Google, whom I'm sorry to report I'm increasingly distrustful of.
I've been PM'd to give instructions as to how to create the link given above, so let me respond here for the benefit of others...
This is the link that takes you to a worldwide view in Google Maps. Sorry, I should have posted that before.
From there, you can scroll the map around using the mouse as normal. So scroll it so that Mexico is centered, and then start zooming in.
Again, the map contains no towns or roads, so you kind of have to know where the region is you're interested in (for Mazatlán it's easy, I start at the tip of Baja California and then scroll right.)
Once you're in the general area, click on the Satellite link in the top-right corner. Like Pete says, the resolution isn't all that great, but it's enough to be useful for me down here in Maz. I walk around this town a lot and it's easy to lose your bearings. Now I know why... so many curves and weird angles.
Have fun!
To boldly go where no wig has gone before.
