(click image for full size)

It works anywhere on the map whee you see the blue lines on the roads. It's only a part of New York right now, but still pretty impressive. You can kinda drive through the roads too by clicking the arrows.

For those who don't see Street View on Google maps, use this link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=new+york&z=16&layer=c&gl=us (or any other link with &gl=us at the end).

RE: Google maps Street View?!?! by duck! on 05-29-2007 at 11:32 PM

Nice, cant wait for it to get expanded in the uk (if it does :P)

RE: Google maps Street View?!?! by Chrono on 05-30-2007 at 12:12 AM

Windows Live Local has had a similar technology to this for a very long time. However, it is not as nice as google's :P

Like the UK, especially London, has any privacy with their cams :p.
RE: Google maps Street View?!?! by Thor on 06-04-2007 at 07:19 PM

I wonder how they've gotten the photos. As it seems, I'm starting to believe that they are driving around in a car with some special funny cameras on top.
:lol:


(Reason: I been "walking" a bit and if you find the right places and walk backwords you'll see the same car for quite a while (ie, one right behind, or across the street.))

Pretty interesting...though fairly time consuming for them too...and sometimes scenery change...(i.e., construction sites)
