Now who isn't aware of Google Maps -- I would hazard a guess and say that over 90% of the cyber population is aware of this innovative service from this innovative service provider.. .. But how many of you are aware of the Google Maps Street View?? The Street view service, to put it mildly, is simply mind-blowing!!
According to the official Google website, by clicking on the "Street view" button in Google maps, users can navigate street-;eve;, panoramic imagery. With Street View, users can virtually walk the streets of a city, check out a restaurant before arriving and even zoom in on bus stops and street signs to make travel plans!
The bets part is that the site captures a 360 degree image and explores neighbourhood at sreet level. Literally!! Google has not only licensed shots from Immersive Media, a commpany specialising in 360 degree videos, but also sent out its vehicle-cameras capturing images of the roads.
Our small world just shrank further -- It's now even more smaller and easier to navigate.
