Yeah that’s right, Google recently made Google Maps even better by adding Street Views to some popular places. Today you can look at San Francisco CA, Las Vegas NV, Denver CO, Miami FL, and New York NY at the street level. You can zoom right down as if you were standing on the street and then pan around the streets at your whim. You can also advance yourself down the street in either direction. In addition, Google estimates the address you are standing in front of while you circle around the streets and displays it on the screen. This is a really cool feature that holds great possibilities and potential for the future. Here’s a screenshot - doesn’t that make you want to go try it out yourself?
I can’t wait until I have some more time to play with this and take a look at some places I’ve been, and even some of the places I haven’t been. First impressions - the response is a little slow, but gee - for what you get - it’s awesome! Perhaps after the freshness wears off a little, the servers will respond a little better and provide a more seamless session when on the street level. I can’t wait to see more cities loaded up. You never know when the camera truck might be driving by, so keep your eyes open. And when you do see one - go wave, it will be a good laugh when you find yourself waving on Google maps! (NOTE: For best results, stand still with arm in air; actually waving may appear blurry and look pathetic)
Where has Sickles gone? I know he has more insight! There has to be something good to share.
