I am a college student using the evaluation version of ArcMap 10 for a project.

I would like to pull in Google Maps imagery into my ArcMap 10 maps. I understand that this can be done, but my question is: how? I'm a beginning ArcMap user and a lot of the Help items I've read through seem to be dead end: that is, I follow the directions on how to add tools, but the tool I am told to add isn't where the Help article says it should be... is it because I have an evaluation copy?

Can anyone direct me to a newbie-friendly, step-by-step instructions on how to do this? Or, can anyone point me toward a free source of detailed aerial maps that ArcMap can work with directly? I've found some USGS maps but they are all far too large scale to do me any good- I need to see individual buildings in some detail, well enough to get a decent measure of their footprint in square feet.

I tried that tool.  I am using ArcMap 10.1.  The tool works for about 8 minutes, then ArcMap freezes and closes.  I start a new ArcMap session and the same thing happens.  Too bad, this tool is helpful if it works.

The latest version Arc2Earth has some significant new Google Maps features

Basemaps - Satellite, Streets, Terrain and Labels are now served as local MapServer layers for the best possible integration in ArcMap

Streetview - A new embedded Streetview window with an easy to use Pegman tool. Overlay your own data on Streetview and, during an open edit session, you can collect point data from Streetview and it will stream in as new features.This is great for jump starting field data collection efforts where your assets are mostly along streets (e.g. signs, streetlamps, benches, water systems etc)

Oblique Maps - A new embedded window that displays your data over Google Oblique Maps (with 4 different angles)

Search - Native Find Window and Identify Tool support for worldwide Google geocoding

I just wanted to add another note of a different color to this thread. In my observations, working in fairly high resolution mapping (scales between 1:10-1:5,000), Google earth imagery does not align totally well with high resolution data projected in NM state plane.  I have observed this in comparing very accurate GPS data and also in comparing local 6 inch per pixel ortho-rectified imagery. 
Thanks to person who posted article comparing Google and Bing maps, I look forward to reading that.
