Google Street View Launches
Google recently launched Street View for Google Maps, which integrates a street level view into the map. You can view some of the streets in San Francisco (click street view in the upper right hand modes).
The technology, which was an acquisition from Stanford, allows you to virtually drive down city streets. They apply blurs and 3D mapping to the images that makes for a seamless and smooth navigating experience.
Currently, they have good coverage of San Francisco, including most of the major streets in the entire SOMA district. This brings us one step closer to being able to virtually walk down any street in the US without the computer.
Now, if only they had a real time view so that I could figure out where all the empty parking spaces are next to my apartment before leaving work.

I cannot see the StreetMap View as an option, is it because I’m in the UK?
