Google introduced its new Street View version of its Google Maps today, a revolutionary way to view streets & neighborhoods.
If you’re familiar with 360° virtual tours for real estate, Street View has some of the same functionality. You can zoom in and out; do horizontal pans (but not vertical pans). It will display the street name and show the direction (N.E., S.W., etc.) and the resolution is above average.
This first version is limited to select cities: NYC, San Francisco and Miami.
Think about the possibilities for viewing real estate: shopping, restaurants, places of interest, etc., etc.!!!
Here’s a link to the main page, with an introductory tour:
