Google brings street level images to Maps
If you are using Google Maps to check out cities in California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada or New York, you’ll notice a new option in addition to “Traffic, Satellite, Map or Hybrid”… “Street View”.
It’s a nice way to “virtually tour” places you’ve never been, or to see the neighborhood of an office you are heading to. Very cool!
Below is a screen grab of a street level video view of New York’s Times Square. You can move forward, back, turn around and down connected streets in the interface.
Some cities, New York at least, have 3D building views as well.
Of course there is also speculation on “virtual billboards” and other advertising in this video… I’m sure it’s coming… 8-)
