Google Maps Street Level Feature-SO COOL!!

vancouverite/to'er · February 8th, 2008, 08:43 PM

Try it out. Go to Google maps. This feature works only on certain American Cities though (including Detroit!)

I guarantee you'll be hooked for at least an hour.

Yea I saw this in Nov 2007, its pretty cool, checked out some cool spots in Miami when I was there a few yrs ago thru Google maps

Best part, it's free

It is cool, but prefer Local Live 3D

I don't really know what the usefulness is aside from the novelty factor

Meh, I don't really see the excitement if you live in the city - its just a crappier version of seeing the street in real life. Now Live Local's aerials...that would be something to get excited about.

Do you mean the Bird's Eye View on Microsoft Google-map-type thing? Because that is awesome.

Too bad Mac can't support this live stuff

Are you using Safari? If so, try Firefox.

Looking at most of the areas within the 'City' of Detroit is a real PR disaster for the economic development and tourist boards of the 'City' of Detroit. Never have I seen such run down n'hoods in a city in a 1st world economy.

No Google street view for Toronto, yet. Too bad. Maps.live.com has better aerial images from Toronto, and I am waiting for them to add the bird's eye view.

Welcome to last year.

When I saw this thread title I got all excited that it was now available in Toronto.
