It is pretty cool that pretty much the entire course (only 3.75km long loops though) can be seen from the finish area. Makes for much better TV coverage.

Although it does mention it in the Google Maps Mania link you provided. Also, I wonder if this > http://maps.google.com/?t=k&ll=44.939195,7.522502&spn=0.020991,0.040255&t=k is where Fiat stores their vehicles, that I assume are made here > http://maps.google.com/?t=k&ll=45.030969,7.635562&spn=0.005224,0.010064&t=k This is a beautiful part of the world, even from above. and, Go Canada! :-D You didn’t mention that the map view works in this area.
