Google Maps Street View

I mentioned a little while ago that you could now view a number of 3d panoramas of Tokyo. Google have somewhat outdone this today with their new addition to Google Maps, ‘Street View’.

Although you cannot view panoramas of Tokyo (hopefully you will be able to soon) you can view panoramas of just about every street in a number of large US cities such as San Francisco, and New York. You can also move forward, backwards, left and right!

To use the new feature you must first be in a city which displays the ‘Street View’ menu option. Once ‘Street View’ is selected you will be presented with an icon which you can drag to your desired viewing point, proceed to click this icon and the panorama will appear.
