google street view

[shosh]

Google is at Where 2.0 showing off the new Google Maps "Street View" feature. Director of Google Earth and Google Maps John Hanke just gave a demo. He started with a panoramic view of the Golden Gate Bridge and moved throughout San Francisco using the street-level navigator. The new Google Maps product looks impressive and is remarkably easy to use. Just move the little person around on the map by dragging and dropping, or use the street level view's built-in direction controls.
Check it out by going to Google Maps and clicking on the new "Street View." San Francisco is a good place to start. You can cruise any street with a blue outline. Also, for a cool easter egg, find the North entrance of the Googleplex in Mountain View to see a snapshot of the Maps team.

This thing is sick!
