Google Maps "Street view"

[chris]

Not sure how long this has been around, but today was my first day using "Street View". For some major roads, Google has actual images of the street. So, if you're looking for an address of a place of business, you can see an actual picture of the building from eye level. It was certainly one of those, "Wow, that's pretty cool" moments.

It is very nice. I was impressed. I wonder whats next.

I love street view, even though it's still not available in my area (and probably won't be for quite some time) it can definitely help to really get a feel for where someplace is.

How do you get to street view?

How do you get to street view?

Select a major road in your area. For me, I was looking for 100 Broadhollow Road, 11735. Sure enough, there was a photo of the building. Knowing the area, I knew exactly where I'm going.
