*NEW* Google Maps: Street View

Beerflakes · 05-29-2007, 02:13 PM

Google's newest feature to google maps... It allows you to see a view of individual streets as if you were actually standing there. You can walk up and down the street and look in a 360 view.

So far it's on active on these locations:

Dam, thats awesome. Can't wait till it gets fully integrated into Google Earth (although i doubt this will happen anytime soon).

FDR Drive, facing North.

Do they drive the roads with a camera?! Looks like you can stop anywhere, from the aerial view, and look.

Maybe one of them, or maybe the newer vehicle, but all of the reflections of the vehicle in windows have been of an unmarked van.

picus · 06-04-2007, 05:24 PM

That's cool, just checked out my old hood in San Francisco.
