Google Street View - What next?

Today, someone told me about Google Street view. I was blown away. It's been out for a while, but this is the first I heard of it.

If you don't use Google maps, today, you should start. These guys think of everything. What they have here is revolutionary...and seemingly impossible, but once again, a reality.

It's really great to have maps on your computer. Very cool to have a satellite view to go along with it. What about a street view? What does a given street look like from a car? What do the buildings look like? The roads and sidewalks? The trees? Google street view can show you.

It's only available in major cities, but it's amazing to see how much Google has mapped out already.

Take a look at times square below. Click on the arrows and move yourself around. Awesome!
