Galactic Giant Molecular Cloud (GMC) complexes are among the largest objects in the sky. In order to get the full picture of Galactic star formation a large field of view is important. The Allen Telescope Array (ATA) is the first of a new generation of large-N, small-D radio telescopes designed to provide high quality images on large angular scales. We present here the first wide field images of GMCs made with the ATA.
