Google Street Maps

[fenix]

Google vans have been driving around taking pictures of surroundings to add a further feature to Google Maps.

Currently, Street View has only been done in America, however, people have sighted these vans in Australia also.

Basically allows you to see what a street looks like in 360 degrees.

Here's a link to an American street.

Drag the little yellow man onto a blue street to see pictures. Use the up and down arrows inside the images to 'walk' up and down the street. Make sure you rotate the image

Enjoy.

Thanks for sharing Fenix,

soon we won't have to leave home to actually inspect the inside of IP's until all our due diligence is done from our desk. Helps us to further optimise our greatest and most valuable commodity.........our time.
