This talk will be in three parts. The first is an introduction to the
SBF survey and comments on what SBF distances tell us about other distance
estimators. The second part is a sequence of pretty pictures, because
we finally have enough accurate distances to begin the cartography of the
nearby universe. The overall coastline has been charted very nicely
in the past using redshifts or less accurate distances, but SBF
distances now permit us to see the spits and bays of galaxy clusters
and groupings. The third part is a detailed analysis of the peculiar
motions in the Local Supercluster -- the infall motion and the anisotropy
of the Hubble constant created by the external quadrupole potential.
