Google Maps StreetView – for the virtual tourist

Yet no update on my site, and still no native german content, but things are piling up so fast that I’ll post some quick news now.

Google Maps now has a new service called StreetView, which enables user to virtually walk through the streets and look around in 360 degrees of freedom.
(The service is available for some US cities only so far, if you have trouble accessing switch your browsers default language to english.)

A video will say more than a thousand words 😉
